Ha! No, of course not. We're all just that vain and insecure. Well, there might be someone out there who isn't, but frankly they're in the minority.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Even better, my recipient hasn't posted a comment yet. She hates it!

Yup. I posed the conclusion to a big story on LJ, didn't get any comments for 12 hours, and was ready to convert to Catholicism and join one of the cloistered orders.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I did get a comment from my recipient, and she was quite pleased, so that's the important bit.
Also, I kind of want to go in and fix the formatting of my fic.

Heh. I had that reaction too - I went and checked my recipient's LJ and I think she's left for holidays in Mexico. Thank god some other generous soul commented on the story, or I'd be sitting in a corner ready to eat worms.

Oh, whee, I'm having a kerfuffle in my LJ from someone objecting to my non-use of fanon elements like consorts and mating rituals and mates and all that. Plus the new arrival is going "I haven't read all the previous parts, why is this so confusing?" Possibly a legitimate reminder to tell new folks where the rest of things are. I never expect to attract new readers who haven't been faithfully following events.
That's a legitimate whee, by the way. One of my regular readers is taking the new arrival to task. Someone cares enough to tell me I'm doing it wrong!

Dear lord. Not just objecting to non-use, but claiming you've got things wrong because it doesn't follow the overdone fanon ritual shit?

As if. Suppose she likes "childe" too, right?

Well, I like "childe", so I can't get too overwrought.
