Just posted this to a forum I frequent:

[hmpf]

1. ( ) "Hmpf, will you stop bugging us about [your latest strange obsession], please?"

2. ( ) "Hmpf, you're mildly annoying when you go on about [your latest strange obsession], but for old times' sake I'll just ignore it until you calm down again."

3. ( ) "Hmpf, you're mildly amusing and a bit bewildering when you go on about [your latest strange obsession], but I don't have a whole lot to say about it. Sorry. But go on posting, please."

4. ( ) "Hmpf, I don't care either way. Go on posting about [your latest strange obsession], just please don't expect me to read it or reply to it."

5. ( ) "Hmpf, it's actually kind of interesting to read about [your latest strange obsession], since your taste isn't usually that far off from mine. I might check out [your latest strange obsession] when I come across it somewhere."

6. ( ) "Hmpf, your tastes are strange and you are rather scarily intense about [your latest strange obsession], but I don't mind occasional dispatches from your universe. Wherever that may be."

7. ( ) other. (please specify)

[your latest strange obsession] may be replaced by "Gene Wolfe", "The Borribles", "The Sandman", "Farscape", "Finder", or whatever else my latest strange obsession happens to be.
