Thanks for starting the Q&A blog Eric.  In my opinion this is a very classy way to respond to the criticism your SEL column received last week on Sphinn.  One of the same Sphinners made very similar comments on an article that I contributed to within the SEL In-House column a few months back.  Even though I didn't agree with his "theoretical fluff" spin on my article, I wasn't nearly as proactive with my response.  Anyhow, I'm looking forward to referencing your new blog as the archives grow.  In the meantime, I'll have to come up with a juicy link building question of my own.
