I hear crickets.
I see tumbleweed.
It sort of feels like a ghost town in here! I checked the site statistics and even though we're getting a lot of people reading the blog...we're not receiving very many comments/feedback.
Could the following reasons have anything to do with it? (Don't worry...you won't offend me with your answers!)
1. My blog entries are too long.
2. The new format of the comments form is confusing/intimidating.
3. My blog topics aren't interesting.
4. There's no reason to comment because I've said it all in the post.
If you have any ideas for blog topics or questions, please don't be shy! Send them along via email (maritime.missy@gmail.com) or leave a comment. (It's easy to do. Trust me!)

Hi Missy...in my opinion..no your posts are fine...very interesting reading. The topics that are chosen really hit home...I guess I'm just one of those readers who would just love to see Theresa's murder (Yes Murder) solved! it frustrates me..I wish that I could do more
I wish that the farmer could be spoken to face to face to answer questions...
There are days that I would like to say sooo much, but cannot..and the past two days for me I'm just not able to.
But Missy! you are doing great!..Keep the posts comming.
sometimes when I look at Sharrons site..and I feel like giving up...but She is pushing me...and letting me know just to sit back re-group...and fight the fight.
Yes Missy, I agree with Doreen (and Moreen), you are doing a GREAT job! I posted this on one of the comment sections that vanished. I had been away and when I returned I was amazed at the number of topics you covered and the quality of the posts.
I am also here for the long hawl, so even if you don't hear from me, it's only because of lack of time. But also, seeing as you asked, some of your posts are pretty well 'as is' and don't necessarily need comments but I guess the feedback you would like from time to time is that you are on the 'right track' and I, for one, think that you are doing John (and Theresa) and great service.

Thank you Doreen and Anon! I was worried that perhaps my posts were too long and I was boring people.
I'm really grateful that you two have stuck with this blog for as long as you have. You're a good "barometer" of what people think "out there" and generate excellent discussions to help keep the momentum going.
Doreen...I know that some days you probably feel that your blog isn't making an impact but you just never know who's reading it. It only takes one person to stumble across it and start a productive chain of events in Sharron's case.
That's what I'm hoping happens here!
Ditto! I agree with Anon and the Priors. I am always here but sometimes I don't have anything to say so I listen and learn. Please let us not give up the fight for Theresa, Sharron or ourselves. Excellent work Missy, keep it up.
Queenie.
Queenie...thank you. It's people like you who motivate me to keep on digging! One of these days, we might be able to type the word "SOLVED"!!
Hey Missy - I agree with those above. It's not you. It's people. Getting people to respond can be frustrating. I go through this daily, wondering what's up with everyone out there. The thing to remember is just because they aren't responding doesn't mean they aren't reading. That's what Site Meter is for.
Keep up the good work!
Oh quit being a big baby... Your posts are fine, we just don't always have the time to coment.
I felt like this many-a-time
JJA
Bill...I wouldn't say I'm frustrated. I just wanted to make sure that my posts were "on the mark". It's easy for me to prattle on about something I think is important... but if it's not resonating with the readers...I would change tactics. I want to involve people in a discussion...not lecture them if you know what I mean.
John...always good to hear from you too...even though it sounds like you missed your nap time.
ahhh..But missy! Don't you know that "cold case" detectives Don't nap? lolol
I wanted to add a little "WINK"
Doreen prior
LOL Doreen. Right again you are!
Great job being done. Take care
