Anyone else obsess over the number of responses they get?
I watch the response count for each post I make, hoping to really get people talking, thinking somehow that is a measure of... heck, I don't know what, but the measure of something. Anyone else do this or am I just weird?

3. Nope, I'm easy to please
As long as I get at least a few I consider it a successful thread. But I've written some that got exactly 0 responses before, and that kind of bums me out, but I get over it real quick.

It's my second-favourite pastime next to constantly refreshing my blog to see if anyone's commented. (No one ever does.)
