And then after all that waiting and failing (while my site was down),
it crashed without writing the cache file (to prevent it from
re-trying all that again on next publication), apparently because I
hadn't already created the cache directory—

  File "/home/mtsw/working/lib/python3.6/site-packages/linkbacks.py",
      line 59, in process_all_articles_linkbacks with
      open(config.cache_filepath, 'w+') as cache_file:
      FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
      'cache/pelican-plugin-linkbacks.json'

So, I guess I give up?

I notice that Compass Rose and Don't Worry About the Vase totally do
accept pingbacks! So maybe I should try this again sometime, but just
roll my own
(http://blog.mlindgren.ca/entry/2015/01/17/how-to-manually-send-a-pingback/)
to hit Zvi and Ben, rather than using this plugin, which obnoxiously
hit everything I've ever linked.

that section is long enough. (I need to say more than I have
previously about why I think everyone is lying about AGP, but maybe
this post doesn't have to be super-exhaustive?) The function of a blog
is to be able to split writing into smaller chunks that can be
published in smaller units, rather than having to get a whole book
right on the first try; a mini-book-like megapost might be making a
