Anonymous commenting!

[wispfox]

I was suddenly grabbed by the idea that I've seen many other people use, where they suggest that people comment anonymously in their journal.

So! IP logging is off, and anonymous posting is allowed (neither of these are changes from normal, actually). Tell me something! Anything! Be secretive and yet spark my curiosity at the same time. Make me crazy, wondering who posted what. :)

Be silly! Be crazy! Be brutally honest! Confuse me, entertain me, make me laugh too hard to breathe!

[Note: If there are cruel comments posted, no matter who they are about or aimed at, I will delete them. Go elsewhere to do that kind of thing. (honesty is fine. Cruelty is not)

I don't actually expect it to be a problem, as I cannot think of any time that anyone has posted anything nasty or cruel on my journal, but I wanted to have stated it anyway.]

Comments

[(Anonymous)]

A. We have at least one LJ friend in common
B. I am not currently on your friends list
C. I have made at least one other comment on this post
d. We have met
E. The style of this comment itself is a clue

Who am I?

Uh...

A,B,d - _NOT_ sufficiently small a set of people. :)

E - I can't think of anyone offhand who writes like that, but if you're not on my friends list right now, I don't read you regularly enough to recognize something like that.

C - Everyone whose writing I was able to recognize with a reasonable likelihood of being right is on my friends list.

So... I have _no_ idea who you are.

But then, I'm not very good at this kind of puzzle! :)

*snap* No biggie, I do like logic puzzles myself. They often contain null clues that are of no use and that is part of the puzzle. C is one of those. E was meant as a pointer to interest lists and logic puzzles, I did not check so that one might not have helped narrow it down much either.

E was meant as a pointer to interest lists

Yes, but there's 20+ people whose interests lists I'd have to check. :)

Oh, I also realized I left out a an unwritten, I thought is should be obvious but it is not, clue. I have you on my friends list. Not that it would help much if doing logic puzzles is not your thing. :)

I actually hoped that was true, or there was _no_ way that your initial logic puzzle was possible. Or so I thought. :)

But there were... 20-30 people who read me and I don't read who I know I've met and who probably have friends in common with me.

You thought correctly, I suspect. It was a blind spot for me to leave out that one.

Ah! Yeah, I had not even remotely guessed. :)
