I can relate to Matt Walsh on his comments below. Sometimes one spends hours, actually days of hard work to put up a well researched work only to end up with a few people reading it and as if that is not bad enough, some NUTS leave some silly comments. But his is the opposite of my experience though. Good for him and congrats Mr. Walsh. Dear Readers, I should start by saying thank you. I read somewhere that there are over 30 million bloggers in the United States. I don’t know if this figure is accurate (and I don’t necessarily think it’s a good sign that our blog-per-capita ratio is so high in this country) but I do know that, whatever the number, I have a lot of competition. Any time you go online, there are millions of blogs, websites, memes, videos, and BuzzFeed lists of 27 Hilarious Autocorrect Fails all vying for your attention. Me and my little site could have been swallowed up and buried in the crowd. My rants and rambles could go unnoticed. This could just be a hobby for me. It could be something I do when I’m not out doing whatever it is that I’d do if I was ever forced to get a real job. But that’s not how things have played out. You came along a while ago and plucked The Matt Walsh Blog out of obscurity. You decided to consistently read, share, and comment, even though you might not always agree, even though my posts are usually 2,000 words longer than the national blog average, and even though sharing my content guarantees you’ll be blocked, unfriended, and disowned by your loved ones. As readers, you have been loyal in a way that is truly unprecedented. You vindicate the hundreds (thousands?) of hours I spend writing and you make the hate mail, death threats, and death wishes all worth it. I don’t want to sound like a pop star accepting a Grammy award, but really, I know you deserve a lot of the credit for whatever modest success I’ve had.
