  # This implements trackback functionality for other people tracking back to
  # our elite journal.  This method should have a post id passed in the url and
  # the following are posted:
  #  title
  #  excerpt
  #  url
  #  blog_name
  # Url is the only field we'll require, and we'll use that for title if title
  # isn't passed in.
  #
  # Errors that we'll spew back in the faces of those unelite enough to send us garbage:
  #  1 - They didn't send an ID or a URL, both are required.
  #  2 - They tried to trackback to a BS post number.
  #  3 - For whatever damn reason, the trackback didn't save in the db.  Gnomes.
