Hey Liz,
First I got to be an SOB and now I made it into the Cafe. I don’t know what to say…
Joe

Go check out what happens when there are 436 comments. :)
Joe said
Liz,
Does that thing come with a set of instructions?
You may have to explain to some about the pages and how to get where they are going…
Joe
ME Strauss said
Aw Joe,
You just click to the last page, like you do at Technorati to see your links.
Joe said
I know, but not everyone else will.

Joe said
You can’t assume that everyone is as tech savvy as you.
ME Strauss said
Believe me, I’m a first grade teacher and I assume nothing. But I also allow that all of my readers have a computer and have used it before.
Joe said
Sorry, just a thought… Maybe an introduction to the new comment setup.
Steve Remington said
Hey thanks Liz for the mention in the cafe. :)
Joe that was a great interview. I did one once with field & stream that I thought went well. You can check it out here:

Hey, Joe,
Don’t think I don’t appreciate you worrying about me. I just figure anything my 86 year old [put euphemism of choice her] mother-in-law can figure out, any blogger can too.
We’re not working with high tech or people who’ve not clicked a mouse before. :)
ME Strauss said
hey Steve,
You’re welcome. I was having some ideas about your blog today, if you’re interested in hearing them –email me.
ME Strauss said
Sure thing, Joe. How did you get a guy from Field and Stream on your proverbial hook?
Joe said
Guess you’re right. I do like it, should be a low easier to stay in the same time zone that way ;-)
ME Strauss said
I can see whert it takes a second to get used to, but them we’ll be flying. Maybe the Field and Stream guy will want us in his comment secition. :)
Joe said
I missed Steve coming in the door, Hey Steve, Like I told DavidC, I just asked the questions, Liz did the hard part. ;-)
J.
Steve Remington said
The funny thing about that interview was I asked about 8 question where he wrote and said, “I really can’t answer that one”.
Fortunately after reading through it it sounds pretty good.
Liz, sent you an email. You better be talking good things and not bad things LOL
Steve
Joe said
Steve, I just read it, I think it came out well.

ME Strauss said
I have a surprise idea for Tuesday’s comment night!! To add a little more atmosphere. GRIN>
Steve Remington said
Is there a guest speaker?
ME Strauss said
That would be cool. Do you know any??
Steve Remington said
We could have Fred Savage come. I met him at a party once. He probably wouldn’t remember me lol
ummm… well… oprah said she was too busy. Let me think this weekend while I am fishing!
Steve
ME Strauss said
That’s it! Bring a fish!!! Everyone can bring an imaginary animal.
Steve Remington said
I could bring an imaginary moose but Milton my get jealous.
ME Strauss said
Milton has to bring his own imaginary animal.
Anthony said
Pierre Omidyar is locked in.
ME Strauss said
I’m not sure I know what you mean.
Oh my, yes I see. I just went to Technorati. Mr. E-bay, it hadn’t clicked. Of course, I was reading locked up not locked in. I thought you were talking about Net Neutrality. Go figure.
S so you’re bringing him on Tuesday night?
Anthony said
No I can’t make it. Ummm to be honest 436 comments scares me.
But I’ve given him the address. He should turn up. He owes me, I used eBay once.
ME Strauss said
You don’t have to stay for 436 comments. You don’t even have to read them all. You just jump in whenever like a convesation at bar..
Gosh, He DOES owe you BIG TIME!
