  2. >WHY SO MANY FRIENDS WILL IGNORE THIS?

    I can tell you why, but it will probably be a bit harsh.

    People on the Internet are usually less likely to visit random links (and commenting their content) if they don't have a more or less good overview of what they're about to read in advance. A couple of links a time might work occasionally... 15 links at once, maybe not.

    Also, usually a blog's audience can often be rather focused on a limited number of arguments and might not be that inclined to invest time on others. This is true especially if a blog's userbase is small and its members are not very involved in discussions with the the community.

    1. Thank you- it was just a rhetoric question. I am using to read much on the internet and to notice the interesting papers- and I wanted to share these with friends. For 437 weeks I wrote INFO KAPPA in Romanian, than up to no 500
      her on this Blog INFORMAVOREs SUNDAY, then some 30 issues QUI CITO and than GOOD PAPERS. I am now using more provocative titles; if somebody reads them I will be happy. Some of the ppaers signalled are quite special however... de gustibus non disputandum.
      Thank you, grazie for he comment
