A BUMMER: InstaPundit got its start with Slate’s “The Fray.” That’s where I first posted stuff like this. (In fact, here’s a link to the first Fray post as “InstaPundit” from about a year ago).

Now Fraymistress Moira Redmond is leaving Slate to go back to Britain. “The Fray” gave rise to an awful lot of the Blogosphere (including both halves of the Quasipundit duo) and one reason is that Moira set the tone. She’ll be missed.

Note to Bill Gates: It’s not too late to offer her a raise big enough to keep her around!
