You can find more info on my userinfo page - but this is just here to say that I'm very happy to be friended by anyone that wants to read me. I rarely post friends-only, and that only tends to be about things that mention work, so if I don't friend you back you're not actually missing much ( Read more... )

Oh, please. I don't know what the orignal typo(graphic error) was but I assumed this was just an informal greeting. Not objecting to the hyphen before a conjunction then?

@Andrew: Love your content, BTW. Friending you. I've seen you knocking about in various webby places but it was this article that decided me.

No objections to informal/loose use of language in blogging, no (although now that you mention the dash-but it is a little glaring it's not something I'd find objectionable enough to comment on). I don't remember the error either, but if I felt the need to comment on it (and didn't feel the need to specify what the typo in fact was, implying that it was obvious once you looked) it was most likely a you're/your-style gaffe - one that I find people tend to be relieved to have caught and fixed. I don't correct everyone nor everywhere but given this is Andy, and that it's his top-of-the-page greeting post, I probably made the call that he'd prefer it to be free of potentially embarrassing typos.

I find it fun that I think I know exactly how you ended up here - from Simon's link in Ben McCallum's FB status update, correct?

Re: Last paragraph; Yes, although, as I said, I've seen Andrew knocking around for ages.

Re: Everthing else; No, fair enough. I didn't actually notice that the typo correction had been made and thanked until after I posted.
