I've heard of trying to get slashdotted to generate traffic, but this title is getting a bit obvious, don't you think? The URL contains "sun_buys_tarantella", a noticable difference from the title. Could it be the editorial process?

I'll call it slashbait which, of course, is not to be confused with slashbait. "Slashbait" sounds familiar, but Google doesn't come up with anything of substance on the topic (Google: slashbait slashdot).

Come to think of it, one or two of the early Clingan Zone posts were (unsuccessful) attempts at slashbait. I admit it. No, this entry is *not* an attempt at slashbait :) I've ... ummm ... "matured" since then. Well, not entirely.

FWIW, I enjoy Ashlee's work overall.
