The beautiful and weird thing about blogging is that you never know who your audience is. With 90 Days, I’ve learned that certain topics catch the attention of specific audiences. Only a few posts have cross-over appeal. One way to tell which audience is reading the blog is by who posts comments — agents, employees, friends, surfers, strangers.

But comments can be misleading. Plenty of people have told me they read the blog or love a particular post, but never make a comment. (One guy admitted to me that he was “afraid” to do so.) And there also are people who comment a lot, but who may not be representative of any audience at all.

Which brings me to Laraelo.

Laraelo, as even the most occasional reader of 90 Days should know, is a constant commenter. She has been known to add as many as six comments to a single post. Sometimes she carries on a dialogue with herself, posting one thought after another. She has even made a public vow to try to curb her commenting appetites, without much success.

As a result, I’ve learned more about Laraelo than I have about any other member of the audience. I know that she is an agent, that she has an eighteen-year-old son who will be moving out of the house the first week of June (Thank God), that she’s gonna miss 90 Days when we’re history, and that she seems to live in ND, which I think is North Dakota, but could be Non-Disclosure or some other state of being.

I, too, have shared quite a bit about myself and what I think in the 102 pieces (this one makes 103) I’ve posted since February 7th. Now I’d like to know more about everybody else out there. What brought you to the site? What else do you do with your time? What has interested or annoyed you about 90 Days?

Go ahead, be open and honest and transparent. Everything you say will be kept strictly off the record.
