I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Am I the only asshole in the world that just emails random people to find shit out when I'm curious? Is this a faux pas?

I do it. When it's a stranger, I'm polite, but if I'm genuinely interested and their e-mail is public, I don't think it's a problem.

Edit: After all, I put my e-mail on my fic site so people can do exactly the same thing. I do it less often in meatspace, though I have been known to go up to people and just ask stuff, especially when the setting's not *entirely* random (say, classroom).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In the real world, going up to a stranger and tapping them on the shoulder to ask them a question has a certain weight to it that sometimes people unconsciously carry over...

But if they put their email up on their site, isn't it an "ask me how!"?

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Totally. Someone emails my private address i don't know, different kettle of fish. My main address is fine.

As if anyone ever mails me cold, but you get the picture...

Hey. New board.

Ummm... Am I the only one for whom that last link is dead dead dead?

All is well that ends in pizza.

I like the drawing of the Library.

I hope they use that library.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I want that library in my house.

Oh, hell, yeah. I don't think my college library was that cool.

Most, if not all, Buffistas would like a house with that library. We skew towards both knowledge and furniture/architectural porn.

It would be handy for large creatures to fight.

In the series, not your house.

At least I don't think so...

FX is showing the ep "Dirty Girls."

I tuned in just in time to see the Vulcan sequence.
