Well, by now you know that people DO care.
I personally have been following all the posts from your show and found the
pictures quite enjoyable.
However, I didn't have anything particularly interesting to say, so I didn't
post anything.
I've found that only about 1%-2% of the folks that look at LEGO pictures
that you post on LUGNET actually respond. I have a counter on my web site
so I can see how many people "looked" but didn't respond. When I post on
LUGNET (which I just did again today) with pictures, I find that several
hundred people stop by my site over the next 5 days or so. However, I might
only get 2-3 replies to my post!
I didn't see any counters on your web pages. You might consider adding one.
