I'm traveling for the rest of the week, so I'll only have a modicum of time for the crafting of posts and the molding of your tender souls into the people I intend for you to be. Rather than leave this blog postless, and leave you all dis-content-ed, I plan to post some older things from here and there. In that spirit, here's an old post for you to enjoy. Please do so.
A Modest Request (originally posted here on March 29, 2005)
Okay, I've been thinking about bringing this up for some time. I don't ask a lot from you people. I let you read the things I write, and I even take the time to read the comments you post. Often I will respond to these comments. Add to this the fact that I even read the things that you people write. Sure, I often enjoy what you've written, but not always. When I enjoy what you've written, I will post a comment and tell you so. I do all of this without complaint.
I do not think it's unreasonable, therefore, to expect certain behaviors in return. These behaviors include:
- When I have time to get on-line and comment on your posts, I expect quick responses to my comments. These responses should be appropriately funny or supportive as applicable.
- When I have more free time and visit your blog multiple times in the course of a few minutes, I expect new material to read with each visit.
- I expect appropriately appreciative and adoring comments to my posts, especially the good ones.
These are reasonable requests. I expect your full cooperation in these matters.
Thanks. Love.
Well, there's a blast from the past for you. I think it really captures the spirit of its age. Don't you?
Later. Love.
