Bill Gates, Philanthropist : Gadgetopia:
I am stunned at comments like this. Why do people think that these comments go TO the people that the posting refers to? This has happened several times.
What in my postings makes it sound like it is FROM the subject rather than ABOUT the subject? I don’t get it.
Another example: I posted something about email to the White House once, and a lady wrote a comment as a message TO President Bush, as if he had made the posting himself.
cloudy, chance of sun breaks: the pain of reading someone else’s fan mail:
For some reason, people are posting comments to this entry as if I were J K Rowling.
I did leave a contact address for her, the same information these kids could get from their teacher or parent. I’m sure the Gates Foundation’s contact details are just as obscure.
