A good Cartoon is hard to beat
Lee LeFever points us to a good one...
This raises a process question - a linking question... Lee pointed to Jeff Veen as his source. How far does a blogger have to carry this attribution thing? Somebunny -- tell me!

I usually link only to a weblog I found the link to something interesting (even if it was the whole chain before). If people interested they can follow the thread to find who was the first one :)
Here's some transparency for you Nancy. I've been reading books by some of the folks at Adaptive Path (Where Jeff works) and Jeff Veen's site is one that I hadn't noticed before.
When I thought about attribution for my post, I thought about it in terms me letting Jeff know that I like his site and/or his thoughts. My hope is that he'll see the link come in via Technorati or something and go to my site.
Normally, I think about attribution as a way to expose the network nodes- a way to share credit with my sources and do the right thing as a weblog world citizen.
This time though, and increasingly lately, I think of the "message" linking sends to the author *and* the audience. In my mind, it's become a way to send someone a little message without leaving a comment.
I don't think people care that I got that silly cartoon from Jeff, but I do care about Jeff knowing I've read his site.
