I think we all share your frustration, Skipper. Maybe some, if not all of the hits are guests who cannot post comments.
With regard to Sasha, if my memory serves me right, this was the first time a nude image had been posted on the site, so it is only natural that it got more attention than usual. Again, the ratio of members/guests viewing cannot be measured.
As you point out, every forum/club/association has members who either don't log on/go to the club/attend meetings, and there are others who do log on/visit the club/attend meetings but don't actually participate in the goings on.
That's life. Frustrating, but life.
Don't let the
wear you down - keep posting your work. Please.
