Technical Blogging vs other stuff
I remember a while ago, KC had a post about what people really read. His point was that, no matter how cool his technical articles were, they didn't get anywhere near the attention that his posts on Religion/Politics/*** etc did. People may claim they don't like to read posts about such topics, but their traffic patterns tell a totally different story.
Seems to me he's on to something there...
Now, I seem to remember some jealous loudmouth running his mouth a while ago about my readership. If memory serves, he took a few shots at me to the sheep in the KnightsOfASPRoundTable (and honestly, I swear, he had a Yahoo group called that. It was like 20 dudes in a private group who were proud of being KnightsOfAspRoundtable - go figure) claiming that my readership was under 100 people.
"I sent that email to see if he would apologize -- but instead we see
has no shame, no brain and cannot admit when he was wrong. I think
well over half his deleted post attacking me was a huge insult to ****
coders who are quite good so I wanted the knights to be aware even if
they meet Bill Ryan in neutral contexts he and his readers (all < 100
of them typical blog volume) are bad news to be avoided. Consider
yourself warned.
"
You may remember, the 'email' he sent me was the one threatening to sue me with his 'Big City Lawyer' and his '12k-24k a month income'. The post had over 100 comments on it, all but 5 of which were dogging Charles. This post alone had over 1000 aggregate views. To put it in perspective, he's been blogging an entire year and doesn't have 100 comments to all of his posts combined.
UPDATE:
So rumor has it that his explanation for this is that I'm posting blog volume from 07 and that his comments were made at the end of 05 (12/05 to be exact). Well, just to point out that he's wrong about this too...and yes, I can post December, January or any other month and it'll tell the same tale. He was making up facts as usual to try to disparage me b/c he didn't have anything real to hit me with.
