Thanks, Andrew!

I would never work for Groupon or anyone else - so I would make a very bad puppet. ;) I didn't even mean to sound like I was endorsing Groupon. Groupon = marketing laziness (IMHO)

Oops. I don't know how, but Blogger's commenting system results in a lot of people who are OK with identifying themselves completely on other sites having a profile with only their name. I wasn't sure it was her and I hadn't seen your comment so I asked if it was her on twitter. Then I saw your comment and I checked back and she'd already replied to me on twitter that it is her. Case closed.

OT: I think Google will probably make a major change to Blogger in the next year or two which may fix their identity linking issue. It will be interesting to see where they go.

great persons can be sockpuppets, but I think said qualification is quite unreasonable.

Is it really up for discussion when someone says "I actually share an office with this person and know they aren't a shill"? I don't think it is up for discussion anymore.

> someone

It's a grouponspiracy all the way down, man.

agree being that Groupon originated in Chicago, she could just be a supporter / sockpuppet.

I know both Rachel and Andrew personally. Neither of them work for Groupon and they, as Andrew explained, share an office in Chicago (with an insanely beautiful view that I'm jealous of!).

And frankly, they both rock. :)
