Either they don't have the courage, the time, or feel they have nothing of interest to add. Ever since I added a counter (which was way after the blog started) I've been able to see how people got there (e.g. through other blogs, through searches, etc.) and which countries they're coming from. I get a real kick out of it when someone reads my latest post and then starts backtracking and reading through the old ones. Anyway, it's just satisfying for me to know that there are people who are interested in reading my musings, as a friend calls them.<BR/>MHMata Harihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251626973831104513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-1169139017441512862007-01-18T08:50:00.000-08:002007-01-18T08:50:00.000-08:00If I had my wits about me I'd pull down a good num...If I had my wits about me I'd pull down a good number of my early posts too - the ones where I was just getting my feet wet.

I know my blog has a few regular readers who have never uttered a peep. That means that some of my posts which received no comments may have actually been loved... heck, maybe one commentless post has impacted one of my readers more profoundly than anything else I've ever written. It's possible.<BR/><BR/>But still, there's that innate desire for feedback. That natural human hope that someone will acknowledge our words, perhaps with a virtual nod of the head or tip of the hat. I guess that's why many bloggers tell a few close friends about their blog... and then call and pester them asking "hey, what did you think of my most recent entry?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
