But it's hardly even started!
A bit more than a year ago I attempted to examine
just what it means to read one of these columns. I asked whether people who encounter
these columns read only the main page, or whether they read the links as well.
In this particular case, not reading the links is pretty much synonymous with
not reading the column at all, since most of the meat of my argument is concentrated
on the links that branch out from the first paragraph. I suppose that anyone reading
this column without reading the links would find themselves a bit confused when
they got to the words "as these columns winds down". Yes, they can see
that the end is only a few lines away, but without the links, it's hard to get
the feeling that it even got wound up.
