Okay, the ironic thing is that the person about whom this entry is (Wow, that's hard to write. stupid grammer rules. phbbttt) just wrote recently how much of a loser she was over a similar situation involving emailing someone. The irony really gets me. And I swear I'm not trying to copy her whole imagined loser-ness. I really am clueless about this stuff. I need some advice. I don't know the proper blog etiquette for when someone asks a question in a comment. In fact, I don't know much blog etiquette at all, since no one ever comes here much. I pretty much sit here and pick my nose and scratch my butt at my discretion, since I'm pretty much alone. (Jill, don't get offended. You're pretty much family. I can scratch my butt in front of family)
But recently, I've gotten comments. Just 2, and they were kind of spread out between them, but they were from "someone out there" that I have never met, and don't want to offend, because I kind of like imagining I'm talking to lots of people, and if someone I don't know comes to visit occasionally, it fuels my fantasy.
Now, I'm in a quandry. I din't know how to answer the question. Do I just post a reply on the blog, and hope (hope, hope, hope) someone reads it? Or do I reply directly to that person in email giving the answer? But, if I do that, what about the multitudes of other lurkers out there who are dying for an answer to the very same question? Do I just sit and wet myself, because someone actually commented (well, and because I'm pregnant, and the baby is pushing on my bladder, but mostly the other thing)?
What I finally decided on was to email a response and post the same answer in the comments. Was that right? I feel like such a dweeb. This person has lots and lots of people who read her blog, and comment everyday, and here I am alone in my loserdom. Oh well, I'm used to that by now.
