Random question for the olds

I’m guessing you’d need to be at least 30-35 for your answer to this question to matter to me– old enough that you spent your life on analog/wired phones, and that you bought *yourself* your first cell phone. Two questions:

1) Do you actually remember getting your first cell phone? Like, was it an Event? Can you describe the phone, or nail down what year it was that you bought it?

2) Can you remember sending or receiving your first text message? (Preferably, for the purposes of this question, these two events did not occur on the same day– in other words, you had a cell phone before text messages were a Thing.)

Just curious. And, for the record, I’m just as interested in the “no” answers as the “Yes, this is when it was” answers, so if you don’t remember one of the two, let me know. Thanks.

Request for my people

I’m gonna need a couple of beta readers for something in, oh, an hour or so. I just need you to read a short manuscript (maaaaybe 3000-3500 words) and answer a single question that can be answered with either “yes” or “no,” with possibly some explanation of why if your answer is “no.”

Anybody in? Just leave a comment– WP will give me your email address automatically, obviously. I’d need an answer by this evening.

Thanks.

Brief WordPress query

Anybody else who has comment Likes turned on– do you have any idea how to stop WP from emailing you every time someone clicks Like on a comment? I swear I’ve looked through all the settings twice and I can’t find anything.

(EDIT: Solved. NotAPunkRocker points out that there are two places where settings are stored– and this particular one isn’t in the Dashboard, which is where I was looking.)
