Over on the Rift's Facebook page, I post links to fan pages I think people might like or may not be aware existed.  Today, I posted a link to the The Greatest American Hero fan page.  I simple put the link and said, "This really doesn't need an explanation, become a fan today."  I assumed everyone was aware of the show and if they didn't like it, they simply wouldn't go "Like" it.  One of our fans pointed out that she wasn't from America and didn't see any reason to become a fan.

I do this at times.  I forget that the Rift is a global show now.  Back in the days of the public access show, we were a regional show, focusing on New York mostly.  I did hear stories of episodes making it on to other public access systems in the country, but I never found any credulity to the stories.  We were producing the show for our New York audience.

Now, the show goes out on the world wide web and I forget that people listening may not always be aware of what we're talking about.  I've tried being conscientious of it, but I do lapse, as I did today.  It wasn't intentional, but I hope she wasn't offended.  Another problem with the internet is that tone doesn't translate well.
