From an email I received earlier today:
My name is Tracy Frey and I am the Senior Director of Community and Strategic Partnerships at Widgetbox. I have read your blog, Dave Kehr, which I discovered in my research for top Movies bloggers.
Maybe I'm not quite so horrible at this racket as I think I am, but I have to say this bit of flattery (however unintended . . . I hope) almost qualifies as obscene!

I got an e-mail from Tracy today, too -- here's how mine reads:
My name is Tracy Frey and I am the Senior Director of Community and Strategic Partnerships at Widgetbox. I have read your blog TVandFilmguy, which I discovered in my research for top Televsion bloggers.
So if anyone forgets the name of my blog, they can just refer to me as the TVandFilmguy. Until I hear from his lawyer, I guess.
Cripes! Not the most efficient bunch over at Widgetbox, huh.
Makes me wonder who got my name.
Any film blogger leaps out a window in the next day or two, then we'll know.
Apparently "the house next door online" is my blog...
Well, you are, as it were, on staff over there, as I am not (I've been told HND wouldn't touch me with a barge pole), so it's not completely misdirected in your case. I'm just trying to imagine what unlucky shlub will end up getting mistaken for me. Talk about demoralization!
I guess we've both been banished to internet limbo as far as the HND is concerned...I could go on, but why bother?
Well, I don't have any problem with HND; quite the opposite, in fact. It's just a little disconcerting to be told, by someone with some standing in this racket, that I could forget about ever joining its ranks because everyone over there supposedly thinks I'm pond scum . . . when that had never been on the radar of my sordid ambitions in the first place.
Anyhow, I didn't want to make a thing out of it; it was simply an aside.
