Fluff

Funny thing I’ve noticed: my “fluff” posts, the ones that don’t actually say much, are the ones that seem to get commented on, while the posts where I actually say something seem to go unanswered. Let’s look through my June archives. I’ll discount my own comments in these numbers.

Opinion, discussion, or otherwise meaningful (to me):
• June 01: Me Am Sad: 1 comment
• June 03: The case for widespread abuse: 0 comments
• June 07: The Rights of the Dead: 0 comments
• June 09: Because I Say So: 0 comments
• June 15: That lovely c-word: 0 comments
• June 17: Iga Archives: 0 comments
• June 17: This week’s exciting tech news: 0 comments

Random linkage, nothing said, or otherwise fluff (again, to me)
• June 01: A note about dosages: 0 comments
• June 01: Them wacky adverts: 0 comments
• June 03: John Shirley, Please Have My Children: 2 comments
• June 04: Synchronicity: 1 comment
• June 08: Placeholder: 0 comments
• June 09: Yet Another Darwin Award Nominee: 1 comment
• June 10: In Bed: 1 comment
• June 12: Can’t Blog Now: 3 comments (I would like to point out, by the way, that this blog entry, including the title, was four words long. No links or anything)
• June 17: Anywhere Nookie: 1 comment

Final tally:
Serious: 1 comment / 7 posts ~= 0.14 posts/entry
Fluff: 9 comments / 9 posts ~= 1 post/entry
I’m just sayin’.

Shit, would this post count as serious or fluff? I guess we’ll see how many people respond to it :o)
