Self Referential or What?

OK, it may not be Gödel, Escher, Bach but here is a link to a piece in the American Translator’s Association Chronicle, which faithful readers will instantly recognize as having first appeared on this very blog. In case you are asking yourself why you should click on a link that will take you to something that you have already read, let me assure you that the piece is infinitely more convincing and authoritative when your read it in all it’s laid out glory in Jeff Sanfacon’s fine column than it was when it was merely a blog post. And, before you ask, I am not even going to start with the whole, “If blog posts aren’t convincing then why should I …” line of argument.
