but why, Alan?
what's your theory?
let's hear it.
150+ blog entries and only one comment so far.
why?

Because the only people likely to go to your "megablog" are people who
have come across you already, here. And so they have no desire to
subject themselves to yet more of your tired delusional wittering.

total bull***.


anyway, that certainly wouldn't explain how my other blogs, with far
fewer of my "tired delusional witterings", received far more comments
-- hundreds of comments actually, and only linked to a couple dozen
entries.

1/~150 does not compare to ~200/~24

(not very well anyway).

something is drastically different, innit.

plus all of my own comments.
all nicely threaded and easily and quickly google-searchable by
keywords.
Searching your own comments to yourself.
yep.
like for instance, i type in: jukebox
and... voila!
i can quickly grab a hotlink to a youtube video that i've previously
found in order to use it to help make some other commentary.

Fantastic. You could also search YouTube.

but my megablog jukebox, for instance, contains a list of dozens of
already found and formatted names and links, therefore a zillion times
more efficient and fatster.

Or just not repeat yourself to yourself.

sorry that you don't grok the quote/music/whatevers enhancement
delights of modern communication.

many people pepper their sigs with same.

Zen has a random generator on his blog.

as do you, sort of -- a collection of them, anyway.

of course, i often relate them to articles directly.

i go the extra mile for my non-mega/zero readers.

kinda like, say, providing a relevant soundtrack of sorts.

but now the options have expanded greatly in that regard.

You can do the same thing in Blogger, only faster, by using tags.

one would have to create tags for every word in an "article" which
would be rather stupid.

using google is much better for that.

and one can create tag posts to mimic that limited blogger feature.

see how that worrks?
of course, i can check the whole megablog archive for any other kind
of stuff in just the same way.

So what? Where's the advantage in that?

if you can't see it intuitively, it would take far too long to explain
it.

like, if i was looking for links to something that i noted in a
previous article, same thing.

I heard you the first time. This is not another advantage, it's the
same one all over again. So you can find things you posted earlier.
BFD.

and expand upon them, by adding to the thread.


when there are more comment leavers, _their_ interesting contributions
will also be in the archive.

If, not when.

well, yes.

it's somewhat hacker contingent, as always.

i mean, you know how google works, don't you?

Google owns Blogger. Are you stupid?

is google stupid?

they don't provide google quality threading/quoting/searching for
blogger comments.

which is utterly idiotioc.

it's a great way to organize a megablog.
yes it is.
What's "mega" about it?
well, mostly right now, it's a mega-mystery innit.

So it's not mega at all. It's actually uncommonly puny.

but why?

there's rarely a post i make here that goes unresponded to.

any insightful or comic theories as to why, Alan?
it's certainly not because i don't write interesting and entertaining
stuff here and there.

It's exactly because of that.

complete bull***.

so what's your theory?

That's my theory. You're full of wacko *** and nobody's interested.

wrong.

QED.

Sorry if that doesn't flatter you as much as your nutball conspiracy
theories would.

whaaaaaatever.

and thanks.

....

anyway, you're competing with Ray for utter dishonesty.

that's gotta suck.
