Nails, you bring up a great point. I must confess that there are some names that instantly make me click on a link. Whenever Ashu posts, I click on the post, because he usually has something to say that tickles my intellectual taste buds. There is always conflict in the threads he posts to and conflict is entertaining. When Huspuppy posts, I click the link, because I am fascinated by how she can go on dumping so many guys. I wonder what she is upto next and who the next unlucky fellow is. When Rythm posts, I am reminded of a relative who is young and outspoken and feel a strange sense of connection to her postings. When Isolated Freak posts, I click on it to see what people on the pro-King side of things are saying. Why study China of all things, I sometimes wonder. When Salokya posts, I read so that I can get outraged. I am amused by the way he writes. When Indisguise posts, I click on it for fun - he is a little bit howde like myself. When San posts, I read because I know someone is getting scolded :) . (If I missed any names, please don't get mad - my virtual memmory is running a little low this evening) Now that I have replied once , I am going to start reading and perhaps replying when you post too :)
