Yes, yes, please don't stop posting. I too recognize Ken's name and enjoy
his posts. Replies generated are *such* a bad measure of lugnet "popularity"
- I'm sure that if you counted how many posts go unreplied, you'd get
anywhere between 50% to 70, maybe 80% of the total number of posts. People
pay attention, though, even if they don't reply. Can you believe that even
Selçuk thought he was unfamiliar on lugnet? (1) Wrong, very wrong. People
don't know how much they are appreciated around here. You'd be surprised at
how many names I recognize and can connect to a site, or better yet, a
personality... I surprised myself a few times, when Chris, Tim and I were
hanging out and trying to remember who had created the tales of Illswich.
Out of nowhere, poof, I say "Greg Howell". I didn't know how I remembered,
but I did, and I was right... that wasn't the only time either. But a place
like lugnet is tough - there are so many people, and since people are wary
of posting, they are in turn wary of replying nonhelpful posts. So they
avoid replying "me too"s and "good stuff" posts. That doesn't mean they
don't like it...
Tell Ken that his presence is so welcome here, please... and so is yours.
