Huh. I stopped by Minearverse and saw what was up. Yeah, it looks like a simple delurking misunderstanding, and nothing to get up in arms about. I still think the person was overly defensive, but whatever.

Yeah, I guess I don't really have anything important to add.

Just for the record (and mea culpa), I think I was rude to JohnSwedon when I first saw him post. (It was at peoplesforum, and I was already feeling confused and off-kilter.) But he bounced back! It was all OK!

I agree with Jess -- we have almost twice as many posters as the example. I think a search function for users may be on the request list (so you don't have to go hunting for someone's posts to be able to call up their profile).

Also -- we should probably note a couple things on the registration page -- if you have a protected account (like Earthlink), please add admins@buffistas.org to your allowed sender list, so that the registration message will reach your inbox, and although your e-mail address is protected by default, admins will always be able to see it, for official use only.

Hi! Could the next available stompy change my user name to Lee? Thanks!

Okay.

Thanks.

Catching up:

I also think it's distinguishable from JohnSweden, say, because one has the potential for confusion, and I don't think John's pseud does.

Whew!

Also, if there were to be confusion, I hope it would be in the same humorous vein that caused me to go with this nick. I worried that the pseud might be seen as a little presumptuous maybe, but not that anyone would think I was posing as Da j-man.

I have no idea who the J man is. JohnSweden is you, to me.

Thank you, Deena!

(j-man is joss. JohnSweden is from an interview Joss once gave about Hollywood taking his calls now)
