I take it as an indicator of my own blogging laziness that I only came across this post today.

This is great! You should put up a permanent link to this as an intro to bloggernacling.

I used to be Seth Rogers until I Googled my name for the first time and some of my posts showed up on the second page of results.

Then I started remembering some the … erm … interesting comments I had made about stuff like evangelicals, idolatry, and birth control …

Then I shortened it.

Yep, I missed that part of Sesame Street. Even if I had seen it I doubt I would have remembered it. All I really remember was the guy who took half an hour to sound out a word. He drove me nuts. Slashdot is a popular news site/aggregator for nerds, and CowboyNeal is an admin on the site. They have a poll (that used to change weekly, but now it's more like bi-annually) and CowboyNeal is nearly always an option. When he's not they make a big deal about it in the comments.

Starfoxy:

Cowboy O is a reference to Sesame Street from like the 70′s. They talked him into changing his name from Cowboy X because he kept marking up their town with x’s. They all lived happiliy ever after because they weren’t very smart.

I don’t understand CowboyNeal or the link.

You got Stephens, you got Heathers, you got Lisas, and you got Geoffs. I try to be nice to them all in case they’re the ones I know. Oh and then there’s the “j’s” They could be a number of people, but are usually Jonathan somebody. Actually, I think there are four Ann/Anne’s.

Eric, Cowboy O? Why not CowboyNeal. He's always the best option.

I have to admit the Stephens have all thrown me for a loop. Thankgoodness for profiles and blogsites, or I might still be trying to find my way through the mists of confussion. Then again, maybe I just need to clean my glasses?

Eric is nobody.

Eric is not Eric James Stone (#5)

Eric is also not Eric Russel (#12)

Eric is not CSEric

From now on I’ll be known as ‘Cowboy O’.

I remember being surprised, as well, that those guys were guys. It does make a difference how you take their comments.

I think there are four snarkers and they are smart people. I wonder how they coordinate and put up pictures and stuff because it’s sort of complicated.
