Dear Carmina,
Thank you for the comment on my post about how to etch your name into the bottom of your glass pans…

“Quick question, do you have any problems with the etching after it’s been in the oven?”
I wanted to give you a Quick Answer! I wanted to tell you that “Yes! Yes! It can go in the oven with no problems…!”
But, alas, your email is not enabled. Your email is listed as “noreply-comment@blogger.com” It’s right there… I. Can’t. Reply. NO reply.

OK, so I will click on your name and (although I feel awkward when I have to do it) I will leave the answer to your question from MY blog in a comment about a post on YOUR blog.
Awwwwwk-waaaaard!

But wait! You don’t have a blog! Or a public profile.

I hate when this happens!
I write up tutorials, hit publish and send them out into the blogosphere, hoping that they will help somebody. (Anybody..)

When someone has a question about one of them, I so want to answer it!! It bugs the snot out of me when I can’t!

So Carmina, whoever you are, I hope you come back by my blog at some point…. and I hope you see that, yes, you can use the pans in the oven.

And then I hope you enable your email.

***UPDATED TO ADD***
The first person to leave a comment here, “Scrappy” is laughing at this post “OMG too funny!” Yet is also no reply/no profile.
tap tap tap… is this thing on? Am I talking to a freakin’ wall here?!
People! Enable your email!
Oy.

    Hysterical! I HATE it when someone asks me a question and they are a no-replyer! I even have the instructions on my sidebar on how to fix that…. does anyone read it?
    🙂 Thanks for the laugh!

    THIS is the thing that drives me NUTS! The no-reply blogger!!

    I get questions ALL the time and have no way to answer!

    Some don’t know how to enable their e-mail OR that they are even a no-reply blogger….I’m always shocked when I find them and tell them this..

    I HATE when that happens!!! I also hate it when I ASK someone a question in their comments, and instead of emailing me the answer, they leave the answer in a comment on their post. AS IF I have time to go back and re-check the comments on THEIR blog!
    UGH!

    Yep. I just got one of those awkward responses on my blog! Ooops!

    There is definitely a learning curve to blogging! I thought I already enabled it. Duh me.

    The funny thing is…I linked back to your blog…to get the lecture again. Your mic is on and I listened…this time. hee hee

    Ha! I’ve discovered your blog today and have spent *way* too much time here 🙂 So….if you’re still getting updates on comments from last month I have a question (and am pretty sure I am not a “no reply”). . .how do you get the “you might also like” suggestions at the bottom of your posts?
