ACD sent me an email because … well … read it here and you’ll see (hope this is okay with ACD, as I didn’t ask. Do tell me if it’s not, please!) …
I can’t figure out how to access your comments section on your blog to leave a comment to a post (I’ve tried everything in sight), so…
Your spellchecker flagged “bandaid” because it’s not spelled bandaid, but Band-Aid (it’s the name of a proprietary product; note the uppercase as well).
Two things:
1) One reason some folks can’t leave a message is because they have a firewall set up. If you get an error message about a referrer or some such thing. If you turn that product off (Dan suggests it might be a Norton product you are using) you might then be able to leave a message.
2) I knew that Band-Aid was a trademarked word, but I just figure bandaid was a word, and I guess it’s not. Go figure.
It should be, don’t you think?
… and thanks, ACD!
I just figured out how to leave a comment. Apparently, you have
to create an account (look for “Join Now” under “Membership” at the
bottom of the left-hand column). Then a comment form appears
where you would expect on the Discuss page.
Hi Jennifer! Yes, indeed, one must become a member of this happy little site. It’s silly, I’m sure, but I have no control over this; I looked to see if there was a way to say that no membership was required to post messages. No such choice. Oh well.
I also don’t like the way the discussion “stuff” is managed. Since I’m replying to YOUR message, the discussion “count” will still appear as 1 on the main page. This seems stupid to me.
(But can a stupid person recognize stupidity? Hmm. Perhaps not. So maybe I’m too stupid to recognize something that is really wise. Oh dear … rambling here ….)
Anyway, welcome! Hope you enjoy the rambling and whining and the occasional snippets of wisdom (only because I have music quotes from other folks!). :-)
