"God and everybody", "every Tom, Dick, and Harry", "everybody and his dog"... those are all fairly common phrases I've heard at various levels of frequency in my lifetime, and I've lived in both the midwest and Texas and seen them used from people as far as the west coast and New England, and quite possibly a few overseas as well (since one can't always tell where someone's at on the 'net.)

I do think the commenter came off as a bit snarky, but that may be because it irritates me when someone picks one thing out of a big post and bitches about it without quoting the context - it's confusing, especially if they're bitching about a figure of speech. Hell, I read the comment and saw it and wondered what the commenter was talking about till I went back up and re-read the comment. My brain just interprets that as meaning "anyone and everyone".

...and I don't see what the huge fuss is about. I'm not seeing anything wrong with Thomas's post. I'm seeing a LOT wrong with the logic that Elfwood = Helping Young Girls Disappear. If Elfwood's responsible because they allow a comment feature and chat, then AOL and every single other ISP in existence that's ever had a member disappear because they used their service to meet someone who later abducts them is guilty too. It's not like Thomas e-mailed the guy and told him "Dude, this chick will so TOTALLY run away with you and boink you silly if you comment on her art."
