Disappointments

1. It has been some weeks, now, since Blogger has let me comment on nearly any blog for which they provide service. Don't know what I did to tick 'em off. At first, I assumed my settings had changed and were to blame; but, I've been unable to find anything to account for the lack. Oh, well, I've never much liked Blogger's use of Captcha and its follow-ons.
2. Murr's most recent posting ended with, "Note to Uncle Walt: So long, and thanks for all the assfish." Among the 32 comments to that post that are currently showing, not one person noted the hat tip to Douglas Adams. Wow!

Life is tough enough without such huge disappointments. I shall try to slog through.

Comments

32 comments? For a sly aside to Adams, it should have been 42 ;-)

Stu--Point well taken.

I noticed the Adams reference, but I assumed it was obvious.

An assfish sounds like something he would have come up with, anyway.

[Cop Car]

Infidel--You have a point about the obviousness. People sometimes don't care to mention the obvious. I guess Murr knows her readers well enough to know that we "got it" even if we didn't mention it. Right you are, also, on assfish.

BTW: Your blog is a rarity, its being hosted by Blogger and still allowing me to comment.

Oh dear. How strange

[Cop Car]

Liz--You may have noticed that your Blogger blog is another rarity in it's letting me comment.

I’ve suddenly been unable to post on one WP blog, but not some of their other blogs — offers me to choose my Google Blogger account on that one WP acct, but now won’t publish my comment.

Joared--At least Typepad doesn't seem to be giving you a commenting problem. I'm not quite old enough to remember when one had to be on the same system in order to telephone a friend or business; but, that was probably even more frustrating.
