I completely agree with the sentiment against the OP here. If someone links to a blog post here, even if it's their own, to talk about JavaScript I'm fine with it; plus I might want to subscribe to their blog. I would have been much more interested in what the OP, Garrett, had to say if he (I'm assuming you're a man) had talked about the issue he had tried to correct. Otherwise it feels like sour grapes to me -- be brave and tell us about your issue with his blog.
On a side note, Zakas is the lead front-end guy for one of the Alexa 5 websites, and, in particular, one of the 5 that displays a lot of information, I'm sure that the amount of emails he receives in a day would boggle most of our minds (at least my mind), even by dev standards. I'm sure he's insanely busy, and not posting your comment on his own blog is completely warranted. I have to admit, it would have been nice if he had dropped you a quick line explaining why. Also accusing Zakas of career building is a little funny since he's probably one of the few people in the world making over 200k to mess around with JavaScript.
