SYDNEY --- The results of the first Fourth Quarter Readers Poll confirm what many have been assuming. Most readers of the blog do so out of a feeling of either sympathy or superiority. A surprising 14% of the people taking the survey were at the blog by mistake.
"It is more or less as I expected," said blog poster Don Kennedy. "Reader polls like this help us fine tune our offerings." As a result of this poll, he added, readers should expect more posts illustrating his inability to do most things well.
"It's the proven crowd pleaser. We will give them what they want."
Kennedy noted that slightly more respondents felt sorry for him than those who felt superior to him (46% compared to 38%), but felt that this may reflect the voting of his parents, rather than the wider audience.
Kennedy noted that only 15% of the votes indicated people read the blog because they thought it was funny. "No, there's little doubt in my mind that my readers are laughing at me, not with me," he said.
The 4Q Readers Polls will continue, and readers are urged to vote as often as their computer will allow them to make it seem as if the blog has a large number of visitors.
