One other thing:
It looks as though Mr Long Replyer is now following my blog and tweets. How do I know this? Let me explain...
I use analytics that tell me who's visited my blog(s) and I'm quite obsessed with the stats for my 'real' blog - I love knowing who's reading, where they're from and how they found me.
On Saturday night I spotted someone who'd googled me (it also tells me, if they used google, what search terms were used), using an iPhone located in London. They'd got to the blog and spent a little time browsing. The same ISP returned a couple of days later, this time via a link I'd posted on Twitter the week before. Tonight, the same visitor has returned.
You could say I'm paranoid, or that I have scary stalker tendencies - to be honest both could be true. The thing is, I wrote two long(ish) posts on days when I could have been replying to his e-mail. Days I've told him were quite full, hence my non-replying. But there's a big difference between knocking off a quick post and carefully crafting a considered e-mail. So now I feel mean, and that he thinks I've been lying.
Plus, I'm now slightly freaked out that he's googled me. (But yes, if I actually knew what his surname was I totally would have googled him too, all my own fault for giving away my highly unusual surname and the fact that I write a blog - curses!)
