But it's nowhere near millions of readers who see your yappy little dog droppings.

There are hundreds of thousands of yapping dogs such as I've described. My
own posts don't even show on the radar compared to the traffic they generate.
They are present in every newsgroup, and very vocal.

Even among the relatively few readers who frequent the same groups and blogs
that you do, many ignore or killfile you.

How do you know?

Nevertheless, for the sake of argument, granted that not everyone who reads you responds
to you. Care to document the ratio of criticisms to love letters for those who have
responded to you?

What do you mean by love letters?

Even allowing for the effect that people are more likely to take the time to write a
complaint or criticism than offer agreement or a compliment, your fan club is hardly in
evidence here or in your other hang-outs.

I don't have a fan club, but there are a number of people who are sufficiently
obsessed with me to constantly write to me or about me, even to the detriment
of legitimate discussion. It's bizarre. I don't consider it a compliment,
because their obsessions have a pathological air about them, and are
(probably) not driven by admiration.
