So, wow.

There are a lot of y'all reading this blog.

I'm figuring it's time for one of those periodic getting-to-know-you posts. So if you'd like to introduce yourself, or you'd like to ask a question (any question, although I reserve the right not to answer), here's a superlative spot to do it at.

This is not a pressure-y kind of thing. Only an invitation.

And I'll reiterate a couple of things:

1. I almost never add people reciprocally. Because, well, I have 25 people on my reading list right now, and that's almost too many. There are many people whom I like and admire whose blogs I don't read. Apparently, I just need that processing power for something else.

2. I only reply to comments if I actually have something to say. However, I read all comments, and I am always, always grateful for them. (N.b., excluding the occasional and inevitable troll.) I forget to say that a lot, because sometimes I'm kind of a rotten excuse for a human being. But I'm definitely reading and interested.

So here. The lines are open and you're on the air.

Hi; llygoden told me about you and you tend to say interesting things.

A question, lessee: whence your username?

Hamlet, via The Children of Green Knowe (the ghost children have a pet mole named Truepenny because Hamlet calls the ghost of his father Truepenny . . . I've got the quote on my userinfo page), courtesy of (a.) my lousy eyesight, (b.) my photosensitivity, (c.) the fact that moles are wicked cool.
