And over-rated/but that doesn't bother me...

Public-service announcement: In reviewing the readership stats for the last couple days, I notice with increasing dismay that many people checking out my historical pieces are actually in Europe. Uh, yeah...sorry about that, guys. Any chance we can just write me off as a typical boneheaded goofball North American, chuckle indulgently and move on?

I personally like to thank people -- strangers included -- when they say nice things about my writing, and don't hesitate to friend journals that looks like they're worth reading.

I can't imagine why anyone would take exception to either of these things. It's always nice to be thanked, and as far as other people's LJ's go I figure, if people don't want random other people reading their journals, why are they making public posts in the first place? (Aside from those few individuals who make all their posts friends-only and restrict their friends to people they know in real life, that is.)

Congratulations on the buzz -- and the editorship!

Thanks!

For the advice, too, also. You make most excellent sense. [skips off to strew thanks further afield]
