Then it looks like I stumbled onto the right site. I don’t agree with anything I say let alone anybody else.

Huh?
Am I included in “most” what?
“most” whores?

Oh! “Most of us are very welcoming”, is that what you meant? Why sure!

My Gaggle of Whiny Whores always agree with everything I say. It gets damn boring.

Annie, are you included in that "most"? Leaf Counting, if you get a feed reader like Bloglines or Google Reader, you'll notice that it's much easier to keep up with. You can subscribe to comment feeds, or just subscribe to comments with a throwaway email address. The more you interact with the same bloggers, the more you'll learn about them and feel like you know them. Fab, we all love Annie. She's awesome!

I do believe I love Annie.

I have noticed a lot of new commenters as well.

Wow, I’m impressed by your number of regular reads, and also your commitment to reading and responding to trackbacks, it’s admirable. In my short blogging life, I can already see how many blogs have fallen off my radar because of irregular and sporadic posting.
The good news of the Bloggers choice awards is that I did discover some great new sites that I will be stopping by more. Good luck, and keep whoring!

Leaf Counting-
Many “Awards” are obviously popularity contests. Some blogs are great and some just have very supportive readers who cannot ignore their whore of a host’s blatant pimping for their own blog.

In case you hadn’t noticed, the world runs in “cliques”. Get the fuck over it.

But, what Avi said, most of us are very welcoming and WANT more readers with different opinions and such.

Leaf Counting, I was going to eventually get back there, but I’m glad you came here, because I’m lazy, and the subscribe function makes it much easier!

I think what you’ll find is just that as you find blogs you like, you comment on them. And they comment on yours, and then other people go look at their blog and comment, and it becomes a circle of communication.

I have about 200 blogs that I read regularly. The ones who post frequently and post interesting things are the ones I comment on. The ones who post once a month are ones that I may eventually just stop reading.

With the millions of blogs out there, finding people that share your opinions who will post consistently and maintain a constant online presence is actually more difficult than you’d think. When there is a site like the Blogger’s Choice Awards, which has open nominations, the first person to find it and start nominating means that a whole group of those friends will be nominated.

So, it might feel like a clique, but I get comments from people every day who I don’t know, and I always go read their blog and try to comment on it. It’s a very large circle, and not a close-knit group that shuts out any newcomers.

And now, here’s a little vajayjay action for you! :tongue1:
