Anyone There?
Monday, September 21, 2020 at 6:44PM
I've been blogging consistently for about a week and a half, and intend to continue doing so for the time being. If you're reading this, please drop me a note or a comment to say "hi", and let your friends know that we're back at it. (On the other hand, if no one's there, there's little sense trying to solve the old riddle about a blogger writing posts in a forest when there's no one to read them.) Thanks.

Hi Dennis!
Long-time reader, keep those blog entries coming...Dale
[DM: Thanks, Dale...let others know, too!]
Welcome back! Knowledgeable chess blogging has become increasingly scarce. Read any good books lately?
[DM: Do they have to be chess books? :)]
Hi Dennis, really enjoy the blog!
[DM: Thanks - pass it on!]
Hi! I have your blog in my Chess' Feedly list so I always read your post. Keep going!
[DM: Thanks - spread the word!]
Hi! So glad you’re back! I knew checking this blog every day would eventually pay off!
[DM: Thanks - I appreciate the positive, persevering attitude!]
I'm here. Some of the best content around.
[DM: Thanks, Ross!]
Hey, Dennis!
[Hey, Phil! Thanks for replying.]
Hello - I read every post via Feedbin! Welcome back!
[DM: I appreciate the post and your saying it's through Feedbin. I can see the number of people who come straight to the site, but I'm not sure how many are subscribers. So this sort of notification is helpful to me - thanks.]
I'm here!
I follow your blog via RSS, so posting irregularly won't save you from my watchful eye.
[DM: Glad to hear it, and I'm glad that there's RSS. I'm just not sure how many people are RSSing - only the direct visits show up on my stats counter.]
Yes :)
[DM: Excellent!]
I love your blogs please keep going. I have tweeted about it.
[DM: Thank you!]
I am definitely here! I subscribe to your posts via an app and read every one of your posts (even though I am NOT a Notre Dame fan).
[DM: What??????? Much appreciated, despite your shocking lapse when it comes to college football.]
Hi Dennis, my old fixed tab with thechessmind is (happily) back on my browser.

[DM: To quote Homer Simpson, "Woohoo!"]
I am happy you and your posts are back!
[DM: Thanks!]
Welcome back!
[DM: Thank you, and thanks to everyone who has written in!]
Hi, long time reader, first comment. Get through RSS via Newsify.
[DM: Thanks for breaking the silence!]
Great that you're writing again. I'll be checking in every day.
[DM: No pressure...]
I'm here! Nice to have the analysis back.
Hello! I am reading
Great to have you again!
I enjoy your post. Condolences on ND have to miss this week.
[DM: Fortunately, the game will be rescheduled. Ugh.]
Great to have you back . . . always kept a check on your site during the long hiatus in the hope of your return!
Good to see you back !
Glad you are back. Just noticed now.
I had stopped checking, but today I did. Glad to see your writing again.
Haven't checked in a long while, but glad to have a bunch of posts to read.
