Usmanov based on Duane Doberman (from Sgt. Bilko) who bears an uncanny likeness.

UPDATE !Tim is up and running on the Usmanov affair here (at a different domain from Bloggerheads)

I’ve removed my list of links and explained why in a previous post but I’ll repeat the reason here..

Why, solely because of a long list of links should this site benefit ratings-wise? – I’ve seen my Technorati rating rise by a few points already.
Chicken Yogurt encourages listing the sites and I think if people want to, then they should, but I just feel a little uncomfortable getting an audience from a bunch of hyperlinks rather than something I’ve done.
Yes, a bit of a contradiction but there you go.
I know the list might help spread the word but one less blog shouldn’t make any difference.
It’s not as if I’m doing a Guido or a Recessmonkey (or is it ostrich?) as I’m covering the subject by commenting, providing some links and posting images anyway – which anyone can use – no need for a hat-tip for any Usmanov related image if you don’t want to btw.
The sites that Usmanov ordered a hit on will no doubt be adversely affected on their return unless we all make it a point to help revive them as soon as they have new webhosts.
So when they’re back up, I’ll make it a point to check them regularly and link to them whenever possible.
