Not to mention, I'd be jumping all over myself trying to make it about people noticing me, but it's not about who I am or about attacking you, it's about principle, so I'm not going to rise to the bait.

A webcoming then, listens in terms of its links, speaks in terms of its content, but only thinks in terms of direct links and maybe a few loops. Therefore, a webcomic is only weakly interactive.

I don't know what's up with the log-in thing.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Anon<BR/>I appreciate the defense, but in the end all the dude was guilty of was overzealouness. I'm not offended because, well... it is the internets. Both of you guys are saying worthwhile things and, I hope, any animosity is coming from the tone of the discussion rather than the real content.<BR/>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22152614.post-1141878867996469282006-03-08T21:34:00.000-07:002006-03-08T21:34:00.000-07:00Hello again my anonymous troll.

I think you have a very interesting world, and I love that you are creating four intertwined story-lines. I'll try to keep reading it. It would be easier if there was a better way to let people know of new updates (an RSS feed maybe?).

Being able to redirect it in a limited way is part of the charm, the reason you don't get that is that you're so enamoured of hearing yourself talk that you don't stop to examine what's being said.
