What is going on with all the multiple entries? I only clicked the Wizbang Standalone Trackback thingie once, and suddenly poor Basil is pummeled with 4 identical trackbacks from me. Or is Basil saying that I need to have 4 reciprocal links back to this blog? Or are the aliens using our bandwidth to communicate back to the mothership prior to their attack?
