My wife said the same thing in an LJ community (and not to me, if you’re wondering). Why leave trollish comments? But then she realized the average age of LJ posters (and the folks online) was pretty damn young. People get nicer when they get older.

Hmm, on this post, as it came down the rss feed you had advertising in it. Could you maybe blog a bit about the advertising you are using in your RSS feeds. It actually was quite pleasant for adds through feeds and I didn’t mind it at all. I actually thought it was part of your post. It was unobtrusive while it didn’t quite go with your post or Maybe it did the message went like this.

That’s pretty much it. Carry on.

Anyway I sat there going Don’t Be an Asshole? Is he refering to Microsoft, is he refering to the webcast? Is he refering to the many newb that think they can program some award winning 3d game by watching one webcast? Then it dawned on me that it was an add. I am just not used to seeing any adds in my feed reader.

Nice post, but it leaves me wanting a bit more, perhaps some sort of story to accompany it?

Heh. It’s short. It takes a position. It’s provocative.

I like it.

Jeff (#5) – That’s pretty funny. I use Feedburner, by the way, and I’d totally forgotten I even had ads in there…

Just an FYI, in case you were wondering. There’s nothing much to this wacky post. A friend of mine asked me, “if you could get one message accross via my blog, what would it be?” This is the best I could come up with without putting lots of thought into it. He dared me to post it. I did.

This reminds me of Office Space: “Yes, I am also not a pussy.”
