FAQs about WWW

Ed. here. The clock on the wall [calendar, surely! Walt] says we're nearing the year-end, so let's dip into the mailbag and answer some of the questions that have piled up since... errr... last time.

Rufus Leaking, of Knockemstiff OH, wants to know, wants to know how to become one of Walt's agents.
Well, Roof, sorry to dampen your enthusiasm, but all of Walt's agents are known to him personally, so first you have to get eyeball-to-eyeball with him -- no easy task now that he's making like a hermit. You might try going to Montréal to take in a Habs game. Walt will be the guy in the red sweater sitting next to the guy in the red sweater, who will be Poor Len Canayen.

Dick Hertz writes from Dinkytown MN, to ask why there aren't more comments following our posts.
That's a good question, Richard -- one which we ask ourselves every day. There are two possible answers. One is that the majority of our "readers" aren't reading so much as looking at the pictures and videos, such as the Swazi girls, the Asia Adult Expo and the guy in the Winnie-the-Pooh outfit.

The other possibility is that people hit the landing page, read the latest posts, and don't know how to open up the "comments" box. Here's how. Click on the headline of the post -- any post -- and that post will open up in a new window (or tab), with the comments box available at the bottom, right below the tags. You can comment as "Anonymous", or with your blog ID, or OpenID, or other IDs. Not difficult at all.

Oh, here's another letter from the same guy... "What happened," he asks, "to the comment I submitted in which I called Walt a 'racist asshole'?"
Well, gee...  couldn't you figure that out? Comments are moderated by, ahem, me! If  you cast aspersions on Walt, Poor Len or even me, I won't publish them. That's my right -- nay, my duty! -- as Editor! Bwuhahahaha... And by the way, if you include a hyperlink to your blog or anything else I don't like, I won't publish that either.

Cy Clone, from Superior Bottom WV, asks if there is any way to contact Walt other than by posting a comment.
Hi Cy! Been talking to Dick, have you? You're welcome to send an e-mail to Walt at the usual address. If you haven't been paying attention, that address would be frereuntel@yahoo.com.

Finally... Gloria Inexcelsis writes from Lick Fork VA, wanting to know if we -- Walt, Len or Ed. -- are real people.
No, Gloria, we're not. But then, who is?

In a PS to her letter, Ms Mundi tells us that she became ill on the local bus on December 15th. Sick transit Gloria Mundi. Hope you're feeling better, dear.

Footnote: The towns and hamlets mentioned are all real. You could look them up...
