I don't want the followers. I want and need readers which I am getting very nicely. But this follower business wont let you alone. How can I get them off my back?

Not so much...Not so much a follower, but a stalker. Not so much a stalker, but someone who gets tired of her own blog, especially as the holidays are next week, and she is burned out from writing about television. I have no idea who I'm writing for. It's like I'm writing for myself, or for an omnipresence or pretend audience that is reading why I am so disappointed in "The Office" this year. So, I read you because I enjoy your point of view, and I like to hear what a television writer has to say when he's not writing television. Ok, I'm a stalker.TVBlogsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066394075072253826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-49988769397454271872008-12-18T00:29:00.000-08:002008-12-18T00:29:00.000-08:00I have a site meter on my blog and the percentage ...I have a site meter on my blog and the percentage of blog "followers" in relation to my total readership is minuscule.

I even enjoy your little corner of the 'net enough to check in on weekends, hoping that you've unexpectedly decided to grace us with a post. <BR/><BR/>Please keep posting and doing that particular voodoo that you do so well, Earl.

I have no idea how to (or if I or you <I>can</I>) find out how many folks check out your blog via that particular route (unless it's somehow included in the Google Reader stats after all).<BR/><BR/>But you can definitely count me as a "follower" of your blog who does not plan on leaving anytime soon. I enjoy your style of gentle humor. Too many writers seem to feel they need to be "Edgy" or "in your face," constantly "pushing the envelope" (does that mean they're would-be postal workers?). That may even be who they are, but it's not for me.<BR/><BR/>My impression is that your humor is not a style or a method, just that it's "you." And thank you for that, by the way (you know, just for being you).<BR/><BR/>Anyway... So I'm a follower too. I simply don't do so via blogger's built in followers mechanism. I noted the recent addition/availability of that particular blogger tool myself. But frankly I don't care. There are just too many online ways of measuring popularity, promoting stuff, sharing stuff, statistically tracking stuff. It all just blurs into meaninglessness for me.<BR/><BR/>I have a blog myself, but I don't post that often. I don't post with any specific goals or agendas in mind. I'm not controversial. I'm not promoting a product or myself in any way. I don't care if I have followers. Call me a rebel. I probably have about two readers that I know of and I'm OK with that. I wouldn't worry about it at all if I were you because, well, even just being me I <I>don't</I> worry about it.<BR/><BR/>:-)Dimension Skipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05392348422733549988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-36727510938446048202008-12-16T06:35:00.000-08:002008-12-16T06:35:00.000-08:00Hey, I don't subscribe through Google Reader nor a...Hey, I don't subscribe through Google Reader nor am I a Follower, but I still read your blog every day!
