I finally figured out that once somebody left a comment, he or she was thereafter “greeted” when returning to the site. You know, “WELCOME BACK, ADOLF!” or whatever. It happened to me after I logged out to test the comment formatting from the user’s perspective. When I returned to the site, there it was, big as day.
Declaring this to be sucky, I removed the following code from a page called “theloop.php.”
See? This stuff isn’t hard.
So now you won’t be greeted any more. I hope you’re not too upset.

Aw, say it ain’t so. I thought that heartfelt greeting was meant just for me. All along it was actually coming from a German guy with a tenuous grasp on me, Farr and the English language. Willkommen means about the same as welcome, I reckon, but hearing it makes me want to twirl my moustaches and snap either my suspenders or my heels. You need something in the American vein: “Howdy, friend, make yourself to home.”

Well, that’s an interesting perspective. Behold, a real user’s opinion!
I thought it looked terrible, and I hear it’s been freaking out a person or two. But you know, you may be right. I’m going to keep experimenting. After all, I can format that any way I want.

Strange that anyone should get upset at being addressed by their name. Though I suppose it is a bit like the Lady of the Lift (elevator to you Americans) wishing me a good day.

Is that a vote to put the greeting back?
