Because you're mondo cool and I love reading your stuff, even if I don't comment very often.

I think i was playing with interest searches and, that you were feline friendly, in the Bay area, with an interest in artesinal cheeses triggered an interest. And then your bio sounded interesting. So, i added. You've remained interesting, even though i haven't had many comments to make.

Because I liked you on Usenet and I continue to like you here. And I met you at Wiscon. And you have points of view that differ from mine enough to be interesting and not so much as to piss me off.

You are on a few lists I'm on and I ALWAYS read your posts. You have a wonderful and clear way of writing about many issues that are near and dear to my heart (fat politics, health, poly to name a few.) You work hard at cutting through the bulls**t but keep an open enough mind to not dismiss everything out of hand. But when sarcasm is called for you can let it fly! I knew you in person even before I became aware of you on-line. Finally, I Love Your Sig Files.

You already know this, I think ... I've been reading your words for a long time. On the alt.poly forum, on the poly website, probably others. Your writing especially around jealousy has been very helpful to me. When I found out your LJ name, I had to add it; I feel like I know you already!

If you've never seen a moocow explode, that's probably a good thing, in the springtime of our aardvark's concentration.

Because we share several communities and I like to keep up with things and you're never boring.

I think I'm answering these all wrong. I always think, from where do I know this person? So my impulse here is to say simply, alt. poly, as if that said everything. Cats, plants, poetry, very good sense, how could I not?

P.

Because, having lived in Japan awhile, I, too, share a deep ambivilance toward Hello Kitty.

I saw your comments on friends' posts, and then on my own, and I like the way you think. Someday I would like to meet you FTF.

'Coz your and interesting and wise person.

I'm not going to meme this thoughh

Mainly because I knew you for ages on usenet and then met you in person and liked your personality and attitude.

For the same reason you're on my alt.poly autoselect list. But I've forgotten what that is, precisely - and now it would be unthinkable to miss what you have to say.

Um, that could be why, actually.

I read and enjoyed your posts in friends' friends lists and then realized you were someone whom I'd been reading for years on Usenet.
