So, maybe someday I'll learn. Though the evidence is against that.
Mark Twain once said, "Never pick a quarrel with a man who buys ink by the barrel, and paper by the ton.) (Okay, maybe MT did not say that, but stay with me).
Years ago, I picked a quarrel with Dan Drezner. And was emotionally (and rightly) crushed when I realized that he was so much better than I at blogging. I mean, SO MANY more people read his blog, it was unbelievable. (Mark Twain 2004: Never pick a quarrel with a man whose Technorati score is two orders of magnitude better than yours.)
Did I learn? I did not. Tried again, picking a Twiter quarrel with Dan. And happened to check on his "followers." MON DIEU! He has 120 times as many followers as I do. More than 10,000. (Mark Twain 2012: Never pick a quarrel with a man who has a 1,000% more followers than you)
Dan, you win. You are mighty.

Here's why you have fewer readers/followers: Kids prefer cheese and most blog readers prefer a windbag.
