Who Reads This Stuff?!

     I was just looking at the statistics for this Blog, which is nearing half a million hits, and saw that it averages over 10,000 hits per month and for some reason, one of the most popular posts has been one that's over two years old, the post updating Kevin Spraggett's Blog closure! Why, I have no idea. Another popular post is one over a year old about Lubosh Kavalek's chess columns appearing on the Huffington Post
     The thing is, Blogger doesn't really give much information, so I was wondering who reads this Blog? Mostly I just write about stuff I like, but I have no idea what readers are interested in...history, games, instruction...what? Also, I don't know how good readers are...beginners, intermediate players, Grandmasters (that's a joke)? It would help if you would answer the surveys in the column on the right.
     On Chess Links and Websites it's currently ranked 410 which puts it it 12th place out of the 25 Blogs listed.
