" I say almost because I have some loyal friends/followers/fans with whom I’ve already developed long and meaningful relationships, and I’ve included them on my initial list." Wow Jay. I agree with you on this thought process. I fee the same way, especially on the whole issue of reciprocation. No one wants to feel like they're the only one in a relationship that gives a sh*t. As for your system of logging and documenting - do I love the idea and the detail you put into it? Hells yes. But I gotta tell you, I'm waaay too obsessive, to regularly engage in trying to maintain that data. I'd never get anything else done, including reading, writing, or interacting with any of those loyal readers. I'd be notating all day. But I'm just wired that way. Great story and lots of good tips :-)
