It's more a question of people sifting through the net and not wondering where the hell they are half the time I think. This site gets several thousand people on a good day lately and a lot of them are coming in off of specific content and just read that without looking at the sidebars or descriptions or anything else. <br /><br />In theory contributors save their posts as drafts and tell me about it and I double check things like that they have a credit somewhere in the top of the post. But a lot of times they just run them. <br /><br />(FWIW Metcalf has put his credit at the top of at least the last 2 posts.) <br /><br />Anyway, I just think it's funny that everyone on this site is clearly ME.

Mr. Metcalf sticks his by-line at the end. You stick yours at the beginning. Mr. VI sticks his just after the cold-open image. Those are three variations I see on the front page, and contributors who post less frequently may have other in-line by-lines or may occasionally leave them out.<br /><br />In addition, one does not necessarily commit to memory the authorship of a post until one has already read far enough to decide that one is interested, which may well be most of the way down; one may comment on a whim without scrolling around to identify the by-line.John Ohnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352441770252592928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9650614.post-53288781881440758362011-09-05T22:46:37.737-07:002011-09-05T22:46:37.737-07:00To people who aren't totally convinced that Ru...To people who aren't totally convinced that Rusty isn't James, this exchange is going to seem especially crazy.Johan Esshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281602120683156905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9650614.post-11633028906854903302011-09-05T22:21:53.190-07:002011-09-05T22:21:53.190-07:00James- You are already Agent 139, Frater Gazebo an...James- You are already Agent 139, Frater Gazebo and Dionysus...
