Lurkers’ Amnesty. Say hi!

What is lurkers’ amnesty? It’s when a blogger asks readers who generally don’t comment to check in and say ‘hi.’ Laksmi started this idea, and then Arturo took the next week, and now here I am, hosting a lurkers’ amnesty week.

I’m gonna hand off to Carl next week.

In the meantime, though, I invite people to say hi. You can even write a bit about yourself, if you’d like. It is quite interesting to write a blog — it feels very personal, but you never know who is actually reading. There are the folks who comment frequently, but that’s the tip of the iceberg. I love the idea of readers who just read, who don’t feel like they need to (or want to bother with) making comments. I imagine you are more rigorously adhering to zen principles than I do, what with your devotion to avoiding the cultivation of likes and dislikes and dramas, etc.

All that’s well and good, but hey, now’s the time to say ‘hi.’ I’d love to hear from you.
