Well, well, well.

It’s been a big day for my little blog. I was sitting in class earlier when about six comment moderation emails showed up all at once in my inbox. Hmmm, I thought. That’s a bit odd.

I knew SaysUncle and a few other folks were sending decent traffic to my Citizen, Arm Thyself post, so I figured that was it. Then another five emails showed up. Weird.

Anyway, one of those comments mentioned Instapundit, and I nearly had a heart attack. I got Instapundited!? Sure ’nuff, I went and looked, and there was a link to little old me.

My reaction was mixed:

Egotistical Thats-Why-I-Blog Me: Oh, hellz yeah. I own the internet.
Lazy Me: Oh crap, now people are going to expect me to actually post substantial content more than once every four months.
Capitalist Me: This would have been a really good day to have AdSense turned on. Whoops.
Neurotic Me: *refreshes SiteMeter stats every four seconds*
Humble Thats-Why-I-Blog Me: Oh, hellz yeah. I just helped get this major pro-gun, pro-self-defense message out there to thousands of people. That’s why I do this.

Anyway, I realize this Instalanche (thanks to my buddies at Arfcom for the props and the definition) is a one-day-ish kinda thing, but I do hope some of y’all decide to stick around. If you do, I promise to actually post substantial content more than once every four months. *wink*

One day, when I’m all growed up, I’ll get me one of them Insty-lanches.

I’m one of your “new” readers who came over here from Instapundit.

I liked what I read, so I dug into your archives a bit and read some more. Really good stuff. So I added you to ‘ye old blog roll and will be checking back often.

Nice job!

Well, if Insta ever starts linking to jewelers I’ll be happy with an Instalaunch but for now I’ll just follow his links and find gems like this blog. :) I’ve book marked ya (yesterday) and added you to my list of blogs to check each week. So yes, please … posting more than once in 4 months would be nice. =)

I would say that we would be a lot better off if there were more folks like you and they got the attention they deserve.

I say “Good for you” and I wish you all best.

Take care a keep your powder dry.

I second Robbie’s comments. I came over from Instapundit, looked around, and for the most part liked what I saw. I’ll leave what I didn’t like unwritten for now:) I’ve been looking to expand some of the blogs I read so I think I’ll stick around awhile.

Congratulations on the traffic bump. Now you need to post your most outrageous beliefs and the vacuum left by Jacqueline Passey will be filled!
