So I sent media guru Jim Romenesko an e-mail about the aforementioned LJWorld blunder that cost a woman her apartment's content -- it was so scary to me, not just the idea of losing everything you own, but of such a simple little mistake that I'm sure I've made dozens of times but in this context being responsible for such a horrible loss -- mentioning the thread which prompted it. I figured he'd be as intrigued with the story as I was.

What I didn't expect -- but is a pleasant surprise -- was for the news bloopers link to get reposted to the left-hand bar of the Romenesko page -- with credit to the LJ post!

If I were biologically capable of doing so, I would express this emotion pulsing through me in a sound I believe you refer to as "squee," possibly with exclamatory emphasis added. But I'm not. So let's just say I am...pleased and flattered. I think I'm at about 1.45 Percocets of happiness.

Also: taunt not Nathan Fillion.

Also also: [livejournal.com profile] rewil! Paper critters! Paper hedgie!

A^3: The LJ database is acting weird today. I've seen comments disappear, reappear, reappear only after I post another comment, comment counts go from five to one to seven.... There's a glitch in the Matrix somewhere. Must be Agents.
