@ppk Why you purist, you! :P Remember, my native language is American English. We can mix n' mash if we like.
@Syrion Erin McKean is great. In fact, wasn't I supposed to go eat? Here I am now hooked on Ted talks, yet again. Nothing else like 'em.
@TheThriveCoach God didn't invent time, people did! And we implemented it very poorly. We need an aSP: the asynchronous standards project.

Ooh, I like that: omnisynchronous - all things happening at the same time. Which it does, essentially. New word for @wordspy, perhaps?
@Eridanus Hmm, I think the thing would be for Twitter to formally standardize a method to transcend time. Omnisynchronicity?
@timtfj You have a point. I should DM myself (can one do that?) reminders like "get off of Twitter, there's an inbox and pile of work to do"
wonders if Twitter DMs will ever work properly again. Or if they ever did. DMs appearing from yesterday, today and from tomorrow, yesterday!
@br3nda Is it good luck to die in a dream? I didn't die, I woke up coughing and choking and wondering who was trying to kill me lol!
@Ash_Loudon In fact, I have turned it on others, and it WAS heinous. So now I have nightmares about being murdered & am tardy with my work.
@robcorddry no but I just woke up from a series of nightmares where people were murdering me. Really.
@efliski I'm half Polish! Are you suggesting we're a stubborn lot? Cuz I can give as good as get ;)
@bphuettner yes, detailed descriptions really do help. Also, speaker setting expectations at start of session helps too. I usually do that.
@klconover You have a latest version of WP and akismet? You can also take usernames and blacklist 'em. In severe cases, even IP addresses.
@dwroblewski of course you do! Not a Stern fan over here per se, but a great admirer of his free speech values.
it's like going out to eat and the service is bad. A kind but clear comment can sometimes change that mid-dinner, and everyone is happier.

I encourage interacting with me when I speak! Person sits through a session, dislikes it, makes no attempt to ask for specifics, what to do?
after all the analysis, it boils down to: If an attendee is not getting from me what they need, I feel responsible & want to correct it.
@michelletrevino I wish this guy HAD left or even better, said something. I could have at least tried to address his concerns.
