How many people read ROFF?

There are at most two dozen or so regular posters. Who knows how many
lurkers or occasional posters? Well, now I have a greatest-lower-bound
approximation for this.

So far, almost 80 people have viewed my two videos on YouTube (79 for
the heron and 77 for the salmon). I suspect all but a small handful came
to them from ROFF. YouTube is deluged with videos. Most of them get very
little attention, including ones far better than mine.

We can safely assume that there are about 80 ROFF readers with
high-bandwidth Internet connections.

I'm proposing an experiment to get better data. Click on one or the
other of the YouTube videos and post a comment, identifying yourself as
being from ROFF. You don't even have to watch them. I don't care. Just
say "ROFF" or whatever else you want in the comments. You can even
insult me if it makes you feel good. :-)

The standard Usenet approximation is 10:1 total readers to
regular posters. So if your two dozen regular posters is
accurate the best guess would be about 240 total readers.

Uh oh, not again. Your "experiments" tend to generate more
heat than data. What was it, hauling loads the rod ? ;-)

Actually, Ken, that experiment threw cold water on the fire because it
settled the argument once and for all. :-)

Yes. Newton's Third Law was once again confirmed experimentally.

Good, I was afraid that the result might have been a "no". :-)

Judging from many of the replies, I'd say a lot less than the number who
look at the squiggly lines and pretty colors on the
compuMicroWindowsTVthingy...or the iFruit, as the case may be...

yup, the exact thinking that popped into my mind at the mere sight of the
thread title......I figure some days the total can't be more than 4 people,
5 at the most........

Well, I viewed both of them. The heron one was great. I'm really
empathizing with the meal these days.

Poor baby. Perhaps if you weren't such a disgusting,
bigoted, ignorant piece of **** you might be able to
actually converse with decent people on a fly fishing
Usenet newsgroup without feeling like a punctured rat.

I suppose rw is owed an apology, (not that he's gonna
get one ;-), for my calling you a putz. You're not a
putz. You are a vile and pathetic homophobe and better
described as vermin.
