Housekeeping: POSTING COMMENTS

Posted on 16 January 2007 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

Lot’s of people are posting comments.  This brings me to urge… nay rather… insist that commenters adhere to a couple simple guideliness.

First, when you are responding to someone else, make sure his or her name or "handle" is the FIRST word of your comment.  In this way the other person will see easily that you are addressing him.  If you don’t do this, the conversation get’s confusing.

Second, if you are going to quote someone else, kindly keep the quote as brief as possible, focusing only on the relative point.  There is no sense in simply dumping text into the comment window.  This is merely to clutter and it is, quite frankly, lazy.

Kindly observe these guideliness when posting comments and the blog will be easier to use.

    From the new pic, it is evident you spend time in Rome. ;)

    Fr. Z looks like he’s saying, “Un poco”.

    Fr. John,

    We could have a wonderful time with a caption contest for your new photo. I have a number of thoughts in mind…

    My youngest son (five) saw the picture and commented, “He looks like a Pope.”

    Hmmmm…Is there a “news blackout”? The Apostolic Exhortation was rumored to be released yesterday with the MP released about the same time. Yet there is no news recently of either.

    I question the quality of Fr. Z’s spies. :-)

    Fr. Z is saying: “Mama Mia! That’s a spicy meatball!”

    I wonder if Fr. Z. posted that picture so as to give himself an opportunity to practice the virtue of humility.

    Huh?

    Diane: Don’t worry about what he wrote. It was probably just a cheap shot.

    Guy:

    Somehow I see Father Z as a “un peu,” or “ein bitte” sort of fellow…

    “just a tiny little bit of dry vermouth…”

    Fr. Fox,

    Vieleich der Pfarrer Z hast drei gins und tonic bestellen?
    Perhaps Father Z has ordered three gins and tonic?

    (please allow for improper grammar)
