Ben McLaughlin said...

So tell me, anyone who's reading this-- would you be chizzy if I stopped responding to every quiz answer?

tell me honestly.

Georgina said...

I love your responses Ben personally. But if it's all too hard, the quizzes are still cool.

KIM said...

oh goodness, don't worry about every answer. just mine will do.

i do like the answers but understand if it's all a bit much. maybe for special occasions? once a month?

and chizzy -- is that an australianism? i understand it, but have never heard it. is it worth me blogging about?

Laetitia :-) said...

:-) Just yours, eh, Kim.

And no, I'd say that "chizzy" is a Ben-ism.

No Ben, you don't have to reply to all comments. But when you do we do enjoy them.

Ruth said...

Yes, I totally would - because that's part of the charm of the Vanishing Point - personal interaction with comments - are dying art in the blogosphere these days!

Ruth said...

Well..... not so much chizzy as disappointed... I mean, I'd still talk to you in person etc!

Ben McLaughlin said...

Well, thanks for the feedback. In that case I will keep up the responses as much as I can.

The tribe has spoken!
