Somebody posted about it... why, I'm not sure. I'm also not sure if she was talking about me specifically or just random people when she said "inane". *le sigh* Here's the thing. I *know* I post a lot. I'm not going to edit my posts to add unrelated content. If I'm talking about comments in one post, I won't edit it to talk about politics. I don't do that. So instead, I post a lot.
Disclaimer. This actually isn't related very much to the earlier paragraph. Now I'm speaking generally, instead of specifically.
And, because I know this is a problem, I put a nice nifty disclaimer in my user info. It says, I believe, that I post a lot, and that you shouldn't friend me if this is a problem. So it's okay to defriend me because I post a lot, and it's okay to not friend me because I post a lot. Please don't defriend me and say "well, I wouldn't've friended you if I'd known you post a lot!". That's just silly. I give fair warning. And all my posts, almost, are public. You can visit my journal and see the insane number of posts here. No excuses if you don't know before you friend me that I post. A lot.
On the subject, if you actually think I post too much, and can think of a way to condense my posts, I'm willing to hear it. So long as it doesn't involve mixing unrelated stuff together.
Edit: I did a bad thing here myself. I started talking about a specific person, and then spoke generally. This is really a bad thing, because I don't make a disclaimer so you know when I'm miffed at one person and when I'm discussing a trend. I'll go fix.
Edit again: Sheesh, if I were setting out to comment-whore, I could scarcely have picked a better topic than this! I love me my comments, so this is all good.
Edit the third: The person I was speaking about in the first paragraph (but not the second) seems to have removed more than one person from her list. We all do list cleaning from time to time. I only posted because she mentioned that some people were removed for posting too much "even if she loves them" and that one of those people... well, she goes on. But I'm actually not upset, so stop trying to comfort me. Well, I was upset slightly, but now I suspect that I may not have been that one person, and anyway I was just rambling/chatting.

Date: 2005-01-17 02:45 pm (UTC)Honestly, someone on a forum I visit posted about where the "Under God" line should be used in the Pledge of Allegiance, and I thought, "I should go look back through Conuly's entries and find where it says that the pledge didn't originally have that line." And then I found out LJ was down and so couldn't look for it :(
But I do really like that you make so many posts that I can reference back to for useful information.
