Thanks for the song ID!
Sep. 4th, 2009 10:15 pmAnd now for something a little more serious. I don't want to be rude, but recently several people have commented whom I couldn't immediately identify. Not spammers - gosh, I can deal with *them* - but I feel awkward! Do I know you? Do I not know you, but you found me here or there? I don't know!
Even if you think I ought to know you (your username is very similar to your username elsewhere, say), that doesn't mean I know that. It can take me a while to figure out that the same person posting on several different sites is not several different people. I don't know, I can be slow that way.
So I'm actively asking anybody who has been reading (and/or commenting) for a while to step up and actively introduce yourselves. If you don't want to, please just give a minor blurb (you can make it up, I'm seriously not checking references) when you first comment, as in "I'm so-and-so" or "I found you when you commented here/I googled this". I'll just feel vaguely better.
Thanks so much!
And to the pizza boy: You try walking off with seven dollars in MY CHANGE again and I won't give you any tip. Even if you think you deserve it, you're supposed to ask.
