Anonymous readers

[prog]

Been seeing an increase in anonymous comments on my LJ lately. I know I have some small amount of google juice goin' on here but really I don't know who beyond my flist reads this thing.

The only anon poster I had for awhile was 'batman4050', a friendly acquaintance from Gameshelf-related circles. But people have been leaving topical but anonymous comments on old threads, and then someone anonymously questioned my getting emotional at a cartoon, so I'm starting to wonder who-all some of you are - if I actually do have random non-LJ readers and not just people who fly in on Google searches. Feel free to comment. (Also feel free to pick up a free LJ account or use OpenID or something; I'm far more likely to respond to your comments that way.)

I dunno, that DiningIn comment looks more like someone with a grudge googled "DiningIn" and now is leaving nasty comments everywhere they can. Probably not personal to you, and they'll probably never be back.

The Ratatouille one, on the other hand, looks real.

Yah, that's my observation too. I assume that most anon comments I get are one-off Google swing-ins. And I sometimes get one-off posts from LJ users via the same mechanism, though LJ culture often prompts them to explicitly mention this.
