Firstly: Eleventy-one posts is too short a time to spend among such excellent and admirable LiveJournalists. I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. (No, I can't figure out if that's a compliment either.)
Secondly: I've heard news that Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is due out on DVD on the 11th of April (UK and US). Allegedly includes 19 additional/extended scenes, interviews with Dan, Rupert, Emma, JKR and Steve Kloves, plus other gubbins.
Thirdly: I would like to make an ANNOUNCEMENT. This is the END. I am going. I am leaving NOW. GOODBYE!
Update: At Rivendell. Elrond has gigabit wireless networking and more Internet bandwidth than the whole of AOL. Ruddy elves always get the best kit. I guess this means I can keep posting, though...

I always figured it was a sort of compliment - to some anyway:
I understand it to mean 'a number of you (less than half) I like LESS than I SHOULD (than you deserve).'
That's a compliment to those, right?
Now I could never decide for the rest (more than half) who are not explicitated and are - probably - liked exactly as they deserve - if that is 'a bit' or 'a lot' or 'not at all'.
Which is of course the purpose of the sentence - it says multiple things all at once.
Sorry for the ramble.
