I Can Hear You Breathing
January 12th, 2010 by ComputerBob
An old staple of television sitcoms is a line that stand-up comedians use when they’re bombing and their audience is sitting silently, instead of laughing: “I know you’re out there — I can hear you breathing.”
The fact that this Web site gets an average of over 4,000 visits each day from more than 100 countries tells me that “you’re out there,” even though relatively few of you ever leave comments after my Journal posts or send me email messages.
And I’m honored that the feedback that I have received over the years has always been overwhelmingly positive and supportive.
It was the same way with my former Survivors Forum: Thousands of people read my survivor stories, and several wrote to me, to express their support, but only a few people ever posted their own stories. That’s one of the main reasons why I finally turned that forum into my Survivors section.
That doesn’t bother me, though. This site is my labor of love, not yours, so I’m happy that a lot of people find value in it, whether or not they give me feedback.
Here’s a funny cartoon that postulates that some of you would be more “vocal” if I were to start intentionally injecting a few spelling or grammar errors into each of my Journal posts.
Do you think you wood?
