Be honest: do you read my column?
I have a column that runs here at DU once a week. There's one running right now.

So...do people actually read the column? I don't get any feedback from anyone, so I don't know.

Now, when I have a column run at the Smirking Chimp web site, I know immediately what the reaction is to the column as I can see the number of times the column has been read.

Maybe you've read the column and hate it. That's fine. If there's anything I can do to make the column more enjoyable, or entertaining, or if there's a topic you'd like me to address, send me a private message.

Thanks,

Scott

6. I don't read it, either
No, just kidding. So, it's really more low-key here at DU. I'm not demanding nor expecting feedback, I just want to make sure what I write is being read by...someone.

3. I read it!
I've also used your blog as a reference in Internet discussions. (Uh...flamewars, actually.) So, yeah, people do read your work!

5. Yes, Scott, I read your column.
I am really sorry that I have not given you feedback in the past. Your columns are quite good.

I did not know that shrub had even made that little speech to his staff. Everyone, including our mediawhores, comments on what happens to critics of shrub. Even Letterman made a joke about his future safety.

Are you at all interested in writing a column about the "independent contractors" in Iraq? Or about the Tyco trial, or the stupid lawsuit the Bushies have against Kerry and the 527s, for alleged conspiracy? The latter one interests me the most.

I will try to remember to give you feedback in the future.

7. a friend of mine who is the author of 7 books tells me...
there is no feedback. That's why she does classes.

8. I read you, Scott
Hey if you want a bench mark of success look for it in the Hate Mail bag. And you make a whole lot more sense than that other Scott from Texas.
