I got my ears boxed by INDC

Yesterday I received a short note from, Bill, the proprietor of INDC Journal, informing me of a breach of blogger trackback etiquette.

My transgression was to register a trackback with one of his posts where my trackedbacked (is that a word?) post had neither a link nor any reference to his post.

Bill pointed out that this was considered a “frowned on” breach of etiquette.

OK, I didn’t know that said link was a requirement, but I do now. I had thought trackbacks were permissible if the trackedback post was germane and on topic.

My apologies to Bill and—since he isn’t the only one I’ve done this to—everyone else I’ve annoyed. I won’t do it again.
