To be filed under “Be careful what you wish for or you might just get it”:

So I like to post about stuff I find interesting — stuff that I think is interesting, and at other times, thought provoking. If I find what I ‘m writing is good enough for public consumption (admission: this is not infrequently), I will submit it to Digg or Reddit, and allow the websurfing public to vote it up or down.

I have to admit, sometimes I do fantasize that my submissions are good enough to attract enough interested visitors that perhaps, they might leave a comment or two … or perhaps sign up for my feed.

Well.

Thanks to the power of headlines, I attracted at least one person who was looking for something, that this website is not about at all (see insert screen cap).

I considered this at least a couple lessons learned:

1. Headlines are powerful tools that attracts all kinds of people based on the wording you use.
2. Try not to be too smart or slick, because the traffic you might attract may not be the one you’re interested in
3. There are some freaky people out there on there (Digg or Reddit).
