As a broad general rule, I don't reply to replies in which it's clear that the poster didn't read all of my original post. The biggest offenders appear to be (a) people who read individual sentences without looking at my overall statement, (2) people who read one or two paragraphs and stop, or (c) Anonymous Cowards.

This is excerpted from a Slashdot post, The first Slashdot troll post investigation, found via an Everything2 node called Slashdot Troll's Greatest Hits.

I know, I know... I mispelled "Angela Bassett" as "Angela Basset". I have trouble with unpronounced double consonants!

Angela, if you ever read this, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. I worship you and I am so sorry!

Love,
Elen

I can't believe it! I just started looking at Slashdot's friends/fans/foes/freaks system, and I have ten fans!!! Plus, there are two fictional characters (like me!), a UFP automated probe and a Cthuloid deity among you!

Hello to CptnHarlock, daeley, dbremner, diffuze, Louis_Wu, npsimons, Nyarly, solferino, stripes and warpeightbot! I look forward to reading your jornals and comments in the near future.

Well, so much for that promise in my last entry... But I've got an excuse: I just got back from a two week holiday, and I wasn't going to be doing any computer work on those two weeks (only checked email once in that time!). Holidays were fantastic as well, for all the obvious reasons. Oh, and the weather helped a lot. I'm jumping back from a good 20+C back to 6-8C. Jeez, it's freezing out here!
