Weblogs:
Readership up slightly, ecosystem ranking waaaay down...
By Jack Grantpe-dan-tic (adj.) - Characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for book learning and formal rules: a pedantic attention to details.
Yep... that's me...
...dry...
...usually well-reasoned...
...but no fun to read...
Oh, well... C'est la vie, as they say the world around, not just here in France.
I yam what I yam, and that's all that I yam, as a certain sailor who liked spinach used to say. I shouldn't try to change just to get more readers.
Perhaps I'll grow beyond being pedantic and actually gain a wide audience by being interesting and enjoyable to read.
Until then, I do appreciate those of you who are willing to continue reading. Perhaps one day I can actually become an engaging and interesting writer and reward you for your patience.

(Was that passable as sincere? Heh...)
You're in good company. Vman put up an "Am I pedantic?" post a few months ago, and whatdya think I told him?
There's nothing wrong with your readership, but not everyone is going to feel equiped or even motivated to take you on in the form of a link, or even a comment.
Still here, though.
