To some people, it seems that way.<\/p>\n<p>I guess what I&#8217;m really saying is that I enjoy talking to people who visit my website, and appreciate comments and questions from anyone. Many webcomics I read spout opinions which are very similar to my own, but I can&#8217;t get in touch with the authors to talk with them. Like, I&#8217;d love to have a conversation with <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.cutewendy.com\">Joshua Lesnick<\/a>, and boy oh boy does <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.reallifecomics.com\">Greg Dean<\/a> sound like my kind of guy, but they don&#8217;t reply to my comments or questions. They seem like nice people and all&#8230; it&#8217;s probably because they&#8217;ve heard it all before and have too much of their own work and other fans to deal with.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t hang out in crowded places&#8230; like webcomic forums, overblown chatrooms like #fret and #square, and the like. I like to have space where I can be unique and have my opinions heard, since I know that there are thousands of people out there that are just like me. I guess I&#8217;m glad that just a personal blog gets as much attention as I&#8217;m getting. I think it&#8217;s great that you guys who post comments and mail me take the time to do that. I&#8217;ll take it that it means I&#8217;m interesting \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;Or, it means that people want to suck up to get their MIDIs higher on the request list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a relative question, but&#8230; do you who are reading this think my site is popular?
