Dave Winer [1] is critisizing Cam [2] about not having “permalinks.” First off, what right does Dave Winer have saying how Cam should or shouldn't run his website? Second, about those “permalinks” you have Dave … what purpose does a 33 character anchor have in making a permanent link? The permanent link I'm referencing here is:

Meanwhile, here at The Boston Diaries, [3] the permament link for this entry is:
http://boston.conman.org/2002/2/13.1
With the added bonus of not shoving you to some random spot in a much longer page. If you're going to bother doing “permalinks” at least make them short and intelligable.
