I can't think fast enough to chat during blitz-- forgive me if I don't give an immediate answer to your "Hello"
Let me say it now: Hello!
(and good luck!)
The rotten apples spoil the bunch, therefore I can grant no takebacks during blitz. In, Standard, on the other hand, there's time to assess the likelihood of a claimed "slip".

I have found my style: I shall BAFFLE you into SURRENDER.
I drew IM Steven Grant in an OTB simul; check game 4 in my lib (don't smirk, doncha remember when you drew your first IM?)
I write for a living-- if you need what they now call "content", give a holler!
