ping, ping

In an interesting twist, I was reading XUP's post on comments, where as is often the case, the comments are as, or more, interesting than the post. There were already a lot of comments to read through, because I've been distracted by the really, really, big event happening in Vancouver and it took me awhile to read through them all and think of my own contribution.

As usual, at the same time, I had just posted on my photoblog and I was visiting a host of other photoblogs and leaving comments there. I always check off the box that says email follow up comments even though I have been getting no notification of follow up comments by email for weeks - months even. Stupid Blogger. But sometimes, it works and you never know. I also don't always get an email notice for comments left on my blogs. Blogger seemed to have its own idea of who was deemed notification worthy. So it can be a surprise when I go into the comment box to reply to one comment and find two or three others there! It also means I have to keep checking, endlessly, because I am a comment whore.

Anyway, I was still thinking about my blogger whingeing contribution to XUP's comments when I went to have a nap. In the depths of my sleep-deprived brain (why do I have to watch all 24 hours of Olympic coverage??) I could hear the pings of new emails falling into my inbox. Suddenly blogger has decided you are all notification worthy again.

Just when I was getting used to having very few emails to sift through...
Glad to have you back.
