You know you're the current leader in "Cool Points." I was *this close* to offering them up again since then, but I opted not to. Rest assured! There will be more Cool Points in the future. Heck.

Are you saying you post comments anonymously, using someone else's email address? Oh! Wait a minute! You're taking comments you receive directly via email and converting them into comments on posts. That's a pretty cool idea, imo. The comments are valid to the subject, and it helps encourage further discussion.

Hope you get the hang of Disqus handling my comments here. I like the way it aggregates all the comments for me. It's fully integrated with WordPress and FriendFeed. I'm hoping to get a handle on my social media before it ramps up and spirals out of control on me. :)

Thanks for the comment. Keep V and I posted when the rally car might be arriving in our driveway next month.

You should have given bonus points to anyone who adds a meaningful comment to this post. :) Of course, I'm the only one who has them, so I guess I shouldn't be pushing for them...but I would still like to see another opportunity come up. As an aside - I've found myself adding comments as other people from their emails occasionally, both because I like to see the comments, but also because I want anyone who reads to see what other people have said - especially when it is something nice or I know they aren't sure how to leave a comment in the first place. I almost couldn't find where to leave a comment in your new format here, btw. :) Speaking of comments – whatever happened to bonus points for things?
