Dear Anonymous...

Dear Anonymous,

Last night I went to bed with nothing. This morning I woke to this... in my email inbox:

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "A Special Kind of Post"

Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.
Is it tough to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I'm thinking about setting up my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks

Oh, Anonymous. Dear, dear Anonymous. You should know that there is so much wrong about this that you have left me speechless...almost. And blushing...not really at all. But creeped out? Completely! Which, of course, leaves me with nothing to do but respond:

1. Do I know you?
2. Do you know me?
3. Gosh, I sure hope not!

And now my advice and real response to your comment.  Which, by the way, has magically disappeared.

1. By "kind of off topic", you must have really meant, "completely and totally not on topic at all". Because "A Special Kind of Post" really is special and deserves far more respect than your comment had to offer. You should read it. And know that if you want to have a successful blog you will need to learn to say what you mean and mean what you say.

2. By "established blog" I'm pretty sure you had no idea what you meant. Because my blog is not that. Research, baby. Research.

3. Please note misspelled techincal. This can only lead to the obvious conclusion that by, "I can figure things out pretty fast", you really meant, "I need to learn how to use a spell checker". Do this. It's important. Really.

4. Must. Not. Lie. Trust me. People are smart and don't appreciate lies. Like saying, "I'm thinking about setting up my own [blog]". And then saying, "Have a look at my blog". I caught this one right away. Really. I did. In spite of the blond hair.

5. I know you're technical, whether you can spell it or not, because my friends who can actually spell technical, but really are not technical, email blog post comments directly to my personal email. Because they can't figure out how to comment directly onto Blogger. But you? Well, you figured out not only how to post a comment directly to Blogger, but how to post a comment directly to Blogger anonymously. This is not for the technically faint of heart. This I know from experience. And so I shake my head at you. The end.

6. I will never, not ever, as long as I live, EVER, have a look at your blog, Mens Swim Trunks. Because some things you can't unsee.

However...and on a happy note, you saved my readers from the serious post I had written for today! Go you!! 

And so now I leave you with one bit of parting advice. Look somewhere else for advice. Like Google. Because Google knows everything. Including how to spell technical. Or use a spell checker.

Sincerely And Thanks For The Giggle,

Me
