I’ve turned off trackbacks for the site. I was getting large amounts of spam, and very little signal. Although my blog is pretty unknown, and doesn’t have a lot of visitors, the amount of spam was monumental - I don’t want to have to deal with it in the future. Also, the value was not very helpful. I have a couple of RSS feeds tracking mentions of my name and blog, so I’ll definitely know when someone writes about me. Like SMTP, TrackBacks are inherently broken - both were not designed with Evil in mind. So, until something better comes along (because, the idea is great) your only method of replying is by either composing an entry on your own blog, and leaving a comment here with a link (preferred) or, simply, leaving a comment with your reply. Whatever floats your boat.
