I was a bit pissed off at her when I wrote this post. She had been bugging me for 2 days. Oh well. Actually admins can see the email. Its a function of WordPress. I thought people should know who she is. Well I'll admit that maybe linking to her Twitter profile wasn't the right thing to do. Sorry about that. I'll remove the links. Thanks for pointing this out, Josh. I really do appreciate it. Again we're not all perfect and we do make mistakes. But, the important part is that we learn from it. @Josh: Okay I removed that part.

Your guess is based on the e-mail address, which was given in the confidence that it will not be shared. The information which she chose to reveal to the general public does certainly not reveal her identity, and effectively you've breached the promise in the brackets by the comments form, a Google-like act. @th13rteen: You don’t even know for sure that that’s her blog.

That's the spam-combating beauty of it. <blockquote>Yesterday, an old (mentally unstable) lady was bitching at me and was accusing me of spamming Twitter.</blockquote> Isn't that a little bit immature?

Yesterday, an old (mentally unstable) lady was bitching at me and was accusing me of spamming Twitter.

Isn’t that a little bit immature?

I agree with you and I think that it would be rude if you didn't follow back some of your interesting followers. Its just being nice and friendly. @Gerald Weber: Thank you, sir.
