Blurker Amnesty Day

Several of my friends are doing this, so I figured why not?
I hereby proclaim that September 22nd, 2008 shall be Blurker Amnesty Day. You are probably saying to yourself - "Self, what is Blurker Amnesty Day?" Well this is the day that all blurkers can (and hopefully will) comment and make their presence known without penalty. You may even be saying to yourself - "Self, what is a blurker?" To answer you again, oh inquisitive one - a blurker is a blog lurker. Someone who reads a blog but never posts any comments. So my unobtrusive friend - I am calling you out. In exchange for your comment, you have my solemn promise that I will not stalk you or request a comment from you in the future. Amnesty. In case you are saying to yourself - "Self, how do I comment on a blog?" Well, I can answer that as well. Simply click on the area that says [X comments at the top of this blog post]. You will see a comment box pop up. If you are signed into blogger then you can type your comment and click submit. If you don't have a google account then type your comment and make sure to include your name and perhaps your location (so I know who you are) and select anonymous. Then click submit. It is just that easy! I am not upset that I have blurkers - it doesn't creep me out in the least. I am curious who you are - I crave the human interaction - I can only squeeze so much engaging chatter out of the little ones. Trust me I squeeze them all too much. I am just interested in who is out there. Reading. And not commenting.

  2. Dear lellow nemanem,

    I read your blog. But I also think I've commented at least once. That is all.

    Yours truly,

  3. I know I've commented before, but I'm nevertheless kind of a blurker... sorry about that! :D
    P.S. I know also that I missed amnesty day, so I don't deserve the promised amnesty from asking for more comments.

If you feel so inclined, leave a thought. It doesn't even have to make sense!
