This is just a quick diary.
The Editor&Publisher online site has a blog-friendly column tonight at:

Greg Mitchell says:
"Of course, I closely watched previous blog brouhahas, such as "Rathergate," but at some distance. This time I followed it from day one. The blogs helped drive E&P's online coverage (which drew national attention), and our coverage, in turn, fed the blogs. So this is an interesting case study in the tenuous new blog/mainstream relationship that has lately drawn much name-calling on either side."
I especially liked this line:
"Hundreds, maybe thousands, of the pajamadeen went to work on the alias angle."
The direct reference to dkos :
"The material the detectives at DailyKos and other blogs drew out of obscure or abandoned Web sites -- and caches -- regarding Talon, Gannon, and a dozen other threads was astounding..."
Congratulations again to all you investigators...and a bow from meagert.
