The other day, I announced my pregnancy on my Patheos blog. Having used up all my creativity in making the actual baby, I didn't order custom-printed baby announcement M&M's to sprinkle around the house and then video my kids' reaction when they discovered them. I just put a picture of my belly sticking out and wrote, "Hooray!"
Because I am lucky, I got dozens of happy congratulations, some from people I know, some from people I've never met or heard of. Then, inevitably, a surprsingly slow 48 hours later, a commenter left the first poo in the punchbowl, saying:

Oh well that's just lazy. Where were the fireworks? Where were the acrobats? Where were the monster trucks? People just have no capacity for imagination anymore!
Anyone dumb enough to post deeply personal information on a completely public blog under her real name, with a photo yet, has no room to complain.
