All I know is I get little feedback. I'm not saying this because I'm starving for attention. I'm saying this because on the biggest, most popular music forum on the internet, one would think a review of an artist that's never been discussed would attract at least a few comments. I don't know. Like I said, this could be purely about my tastes and writing style. So it's not a big deal. I just wanted to sympathize a bit with Rostasi on that.
I've already posted about this sentiment in the thread (see pages 4-7), and I only posted again to reinforce Rostasi's point and respond to him, since everyone else passed his comment by.

You need have no worries on that score; I can assure you you're an incredibly talented writer. Sometimes, most times in fact, people just don't comment. I'm guilty of it too, though if I see something I want to comment on I will. My journal has over 100,000 views --- the most on MB ever, and I say that as a pure fact not a boast --- and yet you could count the comments on the fingers of the hand of one Arcturian Mega-Plasmoid --- probably less than a hundred. Over a period of four years that's not much. But I know people appreciate my writing as I hear it elsewhere. You shouldn't lose heart: just because people aren't commenting doesn't mean they're not reading, though I know it's hard to get a sense of how your writing is being received without comments.
Your off-site blog is amazing, truly. You have real talent.
