And while I still love PKD, I somewhat regret that reference (too fanboyish, etc). It was meant as a somewhat laboured pun (VALIS is an acronym, I was using LIS as "Library and Information Science". Oh well, I'm stuck with it now. “I always wondered if your blog was a reference to the book Valis”

Yes, the comment was just a joke. Though if I were the Annoyed Librarian, I probably would have inflated her stats and said that over 50 people voted for her regardless of whether that was true or not. I'd be happy to show you the results in Survey Monkey though. :) Hey David! Yes, the comment was just a joke.

Thank you for providing the raw data for a case study in the psychopathology of Internet communications. Soon I will be invincible! “There’s probably also no correlation between our blogging frequency, either, with my monthly number of posts high during months when hers are low and vice versa, though I couldn’t check that without doing some research.

But I am losing something in the translation I think. In your post about popular library blogs, you said "Nearly 1/4 of all participants in the survey voted for the Annoyed Librarian" but in this post you said "even though no one actually voted for the AL." Am I missing something? Another go at humor that passed me by? Just curious! Hey Meredith… funny post. But I am losing something in the translation I think.
