And ANOTHER thing!
Never use the phrase, "I've heard a lot about you," when talking to someone, unless the phrase immediately following it is "all good, of course." Certainly don't use it twice. That's just fucking shitty. Pretend to have some couth.* Shit. *Okay, yes, I did just write "have some couth." Pay attention to the underlying message. Dang.

That happened to me this past weekend and when I said "oh really>" with the obligatory eyebrow raise, the person was forced to add the "all good, of course." Even better would be "I've heard so many wonderful things about you! So nice to finally meet you!"
Maybe it's better to know, though. because that phrase can be a handy warning...
