Didn't I already read this?

Don't get me wrong, here. I'm a big fan of Jeffrey Zeldman, and I have to agree he's been doing some damn fine writing lately. But does that mean that every one of his "My Glamourous Life" posts going to get a front page link of their very own from now on?

If you think about it, they probably shouldn't. I mean, why should they? Anyway, I agree with webmutant, who said:

I was kinda wondering about that myself. Lord knows I love him, but I think Jeffrey probably agrees himself that it's a bit odd. If we have to pick a person whose every writiinig we will link to, ought it not be Matt?

I hear anildash has had some pithy days lately.

No, it aught to be the people who supremely suck up his arse with statements like that, and then we can all laugh at them.

Seems like they should be posted to MeTa's Weblog grabbag, not the front page, no?

By way of trying to defend myself (incidentally I took no offence from this so no worries there), I linked it because I thought it was a fairly unique piece of prose so soon after the event.

With hindsight its easy to see that a fair proportion of Mefi posters and readers would already know about Zeldman and his writings.
