Mark wrote today that he's disabling trackbacks. Although he started with coredumping, which is clearly a mere bug and thus tells us nothing about merits of trackbacks, the money quote is this:

During the 8 year tenure of this blog, I've received exactly 11 legitimate trackbacks.

I'm glad we finally agree. As the consensus about the evils of trackbacks is being built among bloggers, my only regret is that I pissed off Kabitzin for no good reason.
