Donnerpass, the groups I'm referring to are really two. The triumvirate, whose members include a flashing shirt, Harvard Obama and the drooling baby, who either respond or not, but their posts are funny and informative. I have never felt like an interloper on their threads and even though I frequently lob bad snark on the drooling baby's thread, he's never flamed me.

Cannot say the same for the Directorate's Guild. There I've been obliquely referred to as "Grackle" and "troll." Whatever. The ones I refer to as "kind" in my previous comment, are the members of the triumvirate. Not only have I never felt dissed by them, I think they may even realize an existence of "insiderism" on the readerblog threads even though some of their friends may deny it.

Monica is one of favorite meanies.

True. I miss her too. I miss Crankypants as well. Someday, they may come back and maybe not. See, it was still good to have read them than never read them.

Your profile bio is one of the FUNNIEST I've read at this site, True, I don't always read people's bio's but this time I did. ROTFL!!

I wish you'd post more snark. You are good.

oops. got your quote wrong. Sorry.

Bee is really active where I'm usually just a lurker and a recluse,

The question still holds.

You don't say though, "one and only" who? Which one?

1)Wilson?

2)Marvel comics?

3)Burkett?

Come on, give it up.

When you say "Bee is usually a lurker" do you refer to the avatar Workerbee who is also referred to as Bee by many around here?

I have thought of writing one about Obama in our historical conciousness at this point in time. He's the counter-memory come back. The counter-memory is nigh upon us. That's what is so fraking exciting about Obama, for me. There are other points of intersections, for me, but that one blows my mind. ;)

As to your second idea I would point out that the regulars don't ask for comments all the time. People just start commenting. I've seen the poster we're talking about ask for discussion and not get it. Why would he keep asking? And I've seen him comment on other posts, but I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE ANSWER HIM.

You are right. The regulars do not ask. You're right that this guy also should not have had to ask to get reader comments. My bad, donner. I've seen only one of his posts and that only after I read you mention him by name, again, my bad. I'm writing this and examining my own reactions and feelings to the reader list. I think you have a valid point.
