Well, no. Not THAT horse. I was referring rather to the concern expressed by Christina in the email below regarding my earlier post about her survey of bloggers. I’m making the edits because I’m tractable, but I wonder if Christina shouldn’t expect to be identified when she seeks entree to the exhibitionistic world of bloggadoccio?
Hi Mr. Paynter,
I received your submission of the survey and noticed that you’ve posted the link on your site. Thank you very much for posting it, I am very grateful.
I would like to request, however, for you to edit the third paragraph. Although the results of the survey are strictly confidential, I offered to share a summary (summary excludes all identifiable information) with you if you were to post the link on your site because your readers would be my respondents, and as host of the site, you would be entitled to know what you are helping me on. Also, please remove my name as I am not very comfortable having my full name on the world wide web. [emphasis added]
I apologize for the hassle and confusion, I should have mentioned and clarified these in my first email.
Thank you very much for your time. I really appreciate your help on this.
Sincerely,
Christina [last name suppressed at request of sender]
Of course she must! She may have admirers who wish to explore neohermeneutics with her and the ramifications of meconnaissance — in a most congenial setting. Or perhaps offer her an annotated Text on ressentiment.
This shyness is highly destructive of the blogospheric jouissance! How can she expect to meet her
stalkers and other assorted loonsadmirers, among whom I count myself, if she is so diffident?Pomo stalker… midnight walker… or perhaps I should say hopper.
i’m relieved to see she had the wherewithal to © her survey.
i applaud your tractability.
a la cache!
Speaking as the guy who coded up the survey, and also the one who advised Ms. Last Name Supressed (post facto) on the niceties of emailing survey link requests, I have only this to say in my defense: ROFL.
Hi Paulo,
Nice work on the survey. I hope my support moved a few bloggers toward Christina’s project. My attitude toward online anonymity is different from hers. But then I’m not a young woman, but rather a coarse old man with little to fear from life.
