A New Comment about Blogrolling

During my morning sweep of the blogworld and news vehicles I read I noticed a couple of things that caught my eye.

One was that there are a large number of blogs out there that have very large blogrolls.

So I wonder if the authors of those blogs actually try and read everyone they link to or if they are just interested in reciprocation.

What is your motivation? Why do you link to some blogs and not to others? If someone links to you do you feel obligated to link to them? If you had a hammer would you hammer in the morning? Would you hammer in the evening, and if so have you ever considered that some of us are trying to sleep?

How would you like me to hammer you. Such impudence will be rewarded.
