I meant "Ask me questions, *silly*!"
I know, this is kind of silly, all this overexplaining and such. But I feel compelled.
When I said for people to ask me questions in my last post, I *wasn't* angry or yelling or anything. It was more of a "You can *always* ask me questions, silly!" sort of thing. Mark has very thoughtfully and diplomatically apologized when he really didn't need to, and now I feel kinda guilty.
As Mark pointed out, some of the specific social software toys I've played with are not familiar to him (and honestly, the way he said it actually made me giggle). I usually suspect that, like Mark, many people are unfamiliar with some of the software, tech, sites, and other bits I talk about, nor do they have the time to go out and play with it themselves. I see it as part of my responsibility to take what people don't understand about my posts and clarify, so that they don't have to do all that legwork. I really just wanted to emphasize that I'm really approachable about helping people understand. I realize now that it may have sounded angry and defensive, and I really didn't mean it to.
So yeah, it's all good. We're cool.
