Its a simple thing and despite your attempt to make it all about you it isn't all about you. Its about anybody. And everybody.

I like this the best, too. I'm not a fan of the lonely link--a little preview or relevant excerpts are more inviting. And some personal commentary gives the post a "raison d'etre."
