(the rest was nearly pitch perfect and made me chuckle.) I only take issue because you must have by now realized that blogger fulfills, in society, nearly the same function as <I>Writer's Digest</I>, a magazine which caters not to readers but to other writers who want readers.<BR/><BR/>It's like an Internet Mobius strip (except with an umlaut, which automatically makes it awesome); everything's one-sided, and that single side is <I>ours</I>! Or maybe like a Zen koan; what's the sound of one hand typing--<BR/>No, wait, <I>that</I> can't be right.<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure I started with a point, but then again, didn't we all?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916332485223671615.post-68346821517865724162008-02-24T22:27:00.000-08:002008-02-24T22:27:00.000-08:00The exquisitely-honed blade of your satiric wit tr...The exquisitely-honed blade of your satiric wit trimmed my moustache for me while I read your post.<BR/><BR/>I now resemble Errol Flynn even more than usual.

Run!" Small children need a creative means to understand the deplorable direction the election campaigns are currently heading. For the fulfillment of this demand, I will be happy to spam your comments at an obsessive level, in order to sate blogger's concerns over your lack of reader response.<BR/><BR/>As to the rest of your posts about writing, carry on. Not all of us find ourselves facing a nervous breakdown at the prospect of the intellectual presentation of useful knowledge.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>Square1<BR/>a.k.a.

There's not much room for those of us who want to address deeper topics or actually use a blog as a community forum. It's MySpace with fewer bouncing graphics. <BR/><BR/>So sorry.

This is a sad, sad state of affairs. I feel for you. However, Blogger doesn't realize that it's not number of visitors, it's quality of visitors. You have the visitors of the utmost quality in the blogosphere. We would be happy to write letters attesting to our own and your excellent character.xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866348942612559536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916332485223671615.post-37713284767851990012008-02-24T06:23:00.000-08:002008-02-24T06:23:00.000-08:00*snork*(And dang, that Lizzie is a tough act to fo...*snork*<BR/><BR/>(And dang, that Lizzie is a tough act to follow.)<BR/><BR/>No metrics yet for Quality Readership in site-meter land, unfortunately.Lori Witzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04744273435691506484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916332485223671615.post-38305006963353034782008-02-23T22:07:00.000-08:002008-02-23T22:07:00.000-08:00Dear Mr. Lowenkopf,You're my favorite blogger of a...Dear Mr. Lowenkopf,<BR/><BR/>You're my favorite blogger of all time.<BR/><BR/>Love always,<BR/>LizzieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
