It happens and that's when I know I have to reach out and comment on more blogs myself.  I've found when I'm more appreciative of others work, is when they find their way to my own.

Fred Griffin at times I thought I spent lot of time and it was like shooting in the dark - nobody heard that or cared for it.

Now this happens with my market reports  - no comments most of the time. However, almost 6,000 views on my market reprots every month. Who cares for comments?

The well researched article are for the more advanced readers. I spent a great deal of time research Z read every word on their security filing. I got zero reader.

Very few AR lenders even know Z has been a lender for sometime and they have access to every transaction info incl FICA #, contact info etc since they also own electronic doc signing company since last year.

What do I know? Then someone gave their opinion of something w/o realizing info has been in public domain for awhile.

Yes.   It concerns me for about, . . . that much time and then I put another blog out.   If you are putting out quality information on crucial subjects, searchers on the Internet will find it eventually and respond accordingly; even if ActiveRainers don't.   I've also seen them get comments months later when an ActiveRainer doing a search does find it relieving my momentary concerns at an earlier date.

Unfortunately yes ... and I felt lousey.  But a comment does not always prove that someone actually read the post and digested the info within it.  Nor does the lack of a comment mean it wasn't read .. or found of value.  I try to remember that ... but it's not always easy, Fred Griffin  ...
