Marc Lynch reports

But I can say that the single moment which most floored me was when Michael Cook, the distinguished historian of Islam and author of the magisterial Commanding Right and Forbidding Wrong in Islamic Thought (condensed and affordable version here), introduced me not only as the author of Voices of the New Arab Public and associate professor at Williams College, but also as the blogger Abu Aardvark. And Bernard Lewis nodded along. This blogging thing really might be getting out of hand….

Indeed. Alas, there are no reports of famous people nodding along at the mention of EphBlog . . .
