back on that other coast?
i've been writing a number of LTE's myself, trying to give "facts on the ground" like this, but so far no luck. maybe some of the local ones might get through if i catch a slow day. the grey lady is a lost cause, probably. they don't like anything that challenges their chosen narrative. unless it's written by arch-conservative salvatore a. bommarito, of course.
actually, i'm about to sign off for the night. you can look after the diary if you like.
cheers.

I've been looking after this diary, but not noticing much change. Though I did also go and look at the quotes on your page, which I like.
But maybe Cedwyn can look after it better. I hope you're sleeping well, ZekeL.

which is nice, as i seem to have an uncanny talent for picking the worst possible times to post diaries. or maybe they just suck, i don't know.
this has to be the least-commented CT-Sen diary ever.

Your diaries definitely don't suck - I just read a few of them. I like the way you slice and dice a column, your sense of humor, and your reassuring attitude of calm good sense.
As for the best time to release a diary into the crowded stream, I'd suggest around 6AM Eastern Time, which is about when the diary scrolling gets the slowest. But that's about 14 hours earlier than you normally write, so probably it doesn't fit your schedule. Also, catchy titles go a long way. But then, I thought 'Spot the Rabid Sheep' was catchy.

eureka! that's what's been holding me back on the diary list. gonna have to ditch it if i wanna get to the top of the list.
but i think you're right about the east coast morning time frame. that's when i'e had my best success. 6 AM may be too early - low scroll sometimes means no one's reading either. but by the time the NYC crowd is settling down to their desks with their fourbucks grande, you have a lot of eyes reading, but without time to write a full piece. so they rec and post a short comment (hopefully).
