Okay I suppose, but usually those do 'speak' whereas the ones I dislike are the ones who sign on to follow and then do nothing. It would be easier for them to just look in without signing on as a follower.

Fortunately it doesn't happen often.<br /><br />It makes me curious, too, when I see someone's name elsewhere yet never on mine, even though they once were regular commentators.
