Blogs' visitors, a strange species!

As you can find different categories of blogs, you really can find different categories of blogs' visitors... Pretty interesting...

1) You get the ones surfing, jumping on your blog just by change...
They usually never come back, even if they enjoy your blog. There are wonderful exceptions though here. A few suddenly wanna make a contact with you because your words really sound familiar or touch them in a *special* way. These unusual visitors can turn to be friends, very unexpectingly.

2) Then you get the blogwriters, discovering your blog by chance, or by clicking on a link from another blog. The blogwriters already get their "own blogworld" so they will leave a comment only if they RILLY wanna make a contact with you... otherwise, they'll be back maybe once or twice and that will be over.

3) Then you have your *gang of regulars*, usually blogwriters (but not always). They leave messages when they *feel* it, and you do the same on their blogs.
You're in contact so regularly that you RILLY feel you know them. Meeting them is the cherry on the cake, you can hardly have a bad surprise. The friendship isn't new, it started through respective blogs and exchanges.

4) And finally you have a category of visitors who are regular, but who never leave a message. A category I find hard to understand.
I find this pretty unfair to expose oneself in such an intimate way and to get no feed-back from someone who's regularly around to get news. It leaves a bad taste of "voyeurism" somehow, somewhere, even it's far from being the right word really.

But that's the game with blogs. If you accept to expose yourself this way, you must accept the quiet visitors I guess.

Now thank you all of ewwws who never hesitate to leave a lil message whenever you *feel* it, and to the others, why not starting also your own blog to share news too, fair deal, no?:P
