Things that shouldn't be complicated

Guestbook thing again. This is mostly in response to Amy and a little bit to Brian and probably somewhat to everybody else:
It's not about pressure. You only have to sign it once. The only thing I really care about is your name and maybe how you know me. Location is nice, too, but I really don't give a crap if you write a message. I just want to know who's reading my blog. Old friends from elementary school? Random strangers? Your mom? I know a large part of blog writing is not knowing the reader, but I thought that this would be easier than the readership survey thing I put out awhile ago and would get more responses. I know people read this thing, since my counter goes up. It's like the friendster/myspace testimonials. I know there are people out there who like me, but sometimes it'd be nice to hear it publicly. I guess that's too much to ask. Tears.
