sent my first "why did you delete my comment???" email through the contact form #metafilter #achievementunlocked
@joshmillard slacker
@afabulous mostly it's that I don't let my email make bloopy noises
@joshmillard how do you write so quickly?!
@afabulous YEARS OF PRACTICE
@afabulous But more seriously, the main thing with answering quickly is that with a lot of MeFi issues the whatever-in-question is something I've already put a bunch of thought into around the time I took the first action on it.
So when a question comes up, I don't so much have to compose a response in my head as I just need to retrieve a couple of already-composed thoughts and type 'em out.
Not universally true; some shit takes a lot of time. But that's how, basically.
@joshmillard wow so I got a FORM LETTER? I feel so neglected 😛
@afabulous i mean it's more like a file obit, just pre-prepping for when the figurative celeb kicks the figurative bucket
@afabulous I think I've had two or maybe three deleted now and in every single case the deletion was warranted because I was being a dumbass. Here's to hoping you weren't being a dumbass, or maybe that you were. Who knows.
@afabulous i like that I saw this toot before I saw the actual email in my inbox
