Writing this story definitely made me more aware of the relative meaning/meainglessness of these numbers. The same variation is there of course in terms of analytics — “uniques,” page views, impressions, and so on.

Nonetheless, I'm *immensely* grateful for all who have taken the time to stop by and think enough of the site to plug in its feed into a reader of some sort. I use the feedburner number as some sort of gauge of how many people are doing this… but it's certainly not perfect or exact.

Also, when I do subscribe to a site, I usually subscribe in three places: Google Reader, my main news reader, my Nokia N800 for offline reading, and my laptop for offline reading. They all update regullarly and count as readers, but they are all me.

Anyway, I think you're about ready to go onto my subscriber lists anyway since I enjoy your blog and don't want to miss anything . :-)
