Captain Ed takes on Jack Shafer's surprisingly counterintuitive analysis of bloggery. Both of them make good points.
Inside payoff: Read Shafer's list of blogs he likes and find which one is missing. It'll make you glad to know that the rift must be real. If you know what I'm talking about, it'll make you smile.

Please enlighten us, this sounds like good dish - who is he feuding with? Is it Alterman? Enquiring minds want to know...

No fair playing cryptic. Who's missing? Instapundit? Kos? Atrios? Jarvis?
Damn your inside blogball!

Let's see...he's writing in Slate...doesn't mention Slate's resident blogger. Am I getting warm?

Slate's resident blogger is Mickey Kaus, who is mentioned multiple times by Shafer.

You may have regular commenters who will get your little dropped hints but any new readers coming this way from Shafer's articles are just going to be pissed off that you didn't even give the answer in your comments. Hmph!

There are lots of bloggers missing from Shafer's list, including many that one would presume he must like and read frequently. Yglesias? Atrios? Kos? Kevin Drum? I don't think any omission is, by itself, proof of a rift.
