Hey, Misha!

I wanted to post a comment on your blog, under the Hippo Water Roller post, but I must not be on the sekrit list of allowed commenters. Anyway, I wrote to the HWR people about the issue of individual donations, and got an email back today:

I don't think there's a s3kr1t list, I think Misha's doing a whole blogsite overhaul and is disallowing comments until she has antispam measures in place.

Thanks for the info from the Hippo Roller people. My Medical Anthropology class had a good discussion about this, courtesy of Misha's original, and I know they'll be interested.

No, the only possible explanation is that she hates me, and the two of you are plotting against me.

There is no other reasonable accounting for this.

Nice try, though. Nice try.

Of course, my response is exactly what someone on the 53kr1t list WOULD say, isn't it? Curse your incisive and logical thinking!

You don't know who you're dealing with. I see right through your little plot. No need to reply!

I already know what you're going to say.

You're BOTH wrong. I hate you both equally.
