I honestly suspect that a few of these folks (you know who we're talking about) honestly *can't conceive* of anyone not reading every word of their posts. After all, they read every word of every post of the people *they're* obsessed with. They assume that others are equally obsessed with them, because...uh...well, because they're just so special and all. :-) What I love are the ones who imagine that they're having a dialogue with people who stopped reading their posts (except for the first few words you can't avoid in the time it takes to hit the Next key) in months. It reminds me of the Sarah McLachlan story of the obsessed fan who was stalking her whose claim was that every song on every album she released was written directly to and about him. She finally did write a song about him (called "Possession") and reported him to the police. He did time.
