    Rachel,

    This message was posted by my neighbor after I had explained the trouble that I had caused.

    I am sorry that you thought it was something that I did.

    I would appreciate if you removed.

    thank you
    Dean

    Dean, you may want to get your house key back from your neighbor, because the neighbor would have his own IP address unless he was posting from inside your home or using your network. So either you’re being dishonest or your neighbor is stealing internet access.

    I live in an apartment, and we were reading the comments (a group of librarian friends who came over for coffee). One of them said “forget it” move on, leave the whole matter alone…Behave yadda yadda. You both need to get a life. But one of the others marched up to the computer, read the remarks after I apologized and typed in the message.

    Perhaps your friend would like to take ownership of his/her comment? I just happened to notice the identical IP, and it struck me as somewhat odd.

    So now it wasn’t a “neighbor”. It was a “friend” who wrote it on Dean’s own computer. But Dean is “sorry that you thought it was something that he did”.

    Does that smell like baloney to anyone else?

    Dean – I’ve changed the snarkiness of my original verbiage, but am leaving this up w/ your explanation.

    If the story is like Dean says, apparently his friend Dr. George Easton came over to his place 4 days before the comment on your post showed up and posted a comment on my blog, because it is also from the same IP address. I didn’t notice it until Dean asked me to remove Easton’s comment (which seemed like an odd request since it wasn’t his comment). I’m a pretty trusting person, but REALLY??? I HATE being misled; there are few things that piss me off more than that.
