Apparently, I am annoying; I have no idea who this person is, but it looks like she’s from Nebraska and is currently attending school (Johns Hopkins?) in Maryland, majoring in math.
She appears to prefer Nebraska to Maryland. I’ll let my east-coast readers fight it out with my midwest readers over the significance of this preference.
I kind of admire that you left a comment asking about that. It’s not something I’d do, and now I am wondering why not.
I second Bitch, Ph.D’s comment. Kudos for making me think. I already did respect you, although I perhaps wasn’t clear enough about that fact. That respect is even higher now.
A more rambling version of this is up now at my blog:

You are so annoying that I have to say you gripe my bottom. ;-)
I so rarely rub people the wrong way (with my blog, I mean; I’m sure I piss people off in person all the time) that I was genuinely curious. Thanks for taking the time to think about it.
