Circling back to watch the opening episodes I missed originally.
The meet cute here was just lovely.
Needed something to wash down all the cookies.
There was a case taunting me in the corner. I showed a moment of weakness…

He seems to have a reasonable opening history here. He references several researchers I’m familiar with and trust at least.
It’s been raining since early morning, and since it stopped in the last 30 minutes or so the neighborhood pea fowl have been squawking up an entirely different storm. Feels like I’m in a television-based jungle.
Default avatars for refbacks

Refbacks in conjunction with the Webmention plugin and Semantic Linkbacks plugin don’t have as solid a parity with webmentions as they show up in the comments section as text instead of as an avatar. Perhaps it would be prettier if refbacks were given a default system avatar (possibly modifiable) for display?
Setting to discard self-refbacks

Given the tremendous number of self-refbacks, it would be nice to have a setting that would allow the plugin to silently discard refbacks to one’s own website. Since adding the plugin I’d estimate that 99.9% of the refbacks I get are from people clicking links on my own website rather than external links others.
This should be separate from preventing self-webmentions as I (and I suspect others may) want to have those show up to cross link or cross reference posts on their own sites.
