Spreading Like Wildfire

Something extraordinary has been happening recently. For some time, I have been getting an abnormally large hit count on a certain CF blog post from mid-2007. Here is the post I am referring to; go and have a read:

As I say, this exaggerated flow has been going on for a while -- at least a week. In some mysterious way, the word got out. But today, all hell broke loose. It is like the dam crumbled and the flash-flood came roaring down the canyon all at once with no warning. As of this minute, the web stat reporting cycle is barely ten hours old, and the blog has already gotten 162 unique visitors.

The story told in that blog post, about a man who set himself on fire, is an appalling drama to be sure. A human interest story, as they say in the journalistic trade. And evidently a whole lot of people agreed with that assessment -- all at once! I do not know who these people are, politically or otherwise. And of course, I do not know why they all got here so SUDDENLY. What mechanism triggered their abrupt and massive arrival? It is a mystery.

But arrive they did. So, I reckon I ought to give the process a feeble boost of my own, by directing regular readers to that story, so that they too can ponder upon the significance of such a development. Good reading to you all!
