What would Miss Manners do?

 
Dear Miss Manners,

Perhaps I am old fashioned. Is it wrong that I get completely creeped out by total strangers who have no qualms about posting comments in my journal when they have never bothered to introduce themselves? I believe I made myself quite clear in my profile regarding my "friends" policy. http://gurdymonkey.livejournal.com/profile  And yet it keeps happening.

Is it that hard to mouse over my userpic and use the "Send Message:" feature to introduce oneself in a civilized fashion? Or do people really prefer to behave like stalkers?

I'd so hate to have to lock-down this journal.

Sincerely,
A Curmudgeon

Bestbuy is no longer offering that PC package I saw last week. Wondering if it's worth trying to hold out until sales for July 4th start being advertised. I can get away without replacing the monitor right away, but a new printer would be a good thing.  Fry's is selling some refurbished desktops at discounted prices that might be worth investigating....

Of course, I can't find which message it was in, but kproche  said something about me joining him and bovil  at a rodeo up Sacramento way this weekend. I did horse shows for years, but I've never been to a rodeo.  The event hotel still has rooms, but it's more than I want to spend. However, Hotwire has some rooms listed at another motel in the same neighborhood that are pretty reasonable, so that's an option if I decide I want to stay overnight on Saturday evening.
