We're so used to getting our fix instantly and on-time that all it takes is missing one update or starting to be late, and people move on. Not necessarily consciously, but they stop automatically checking your link when they bring up the browser. And frankly, a daily grind is hard. Heck, look at how many people washed out of <A HREF="http://www.crowncommission.com/dailygrind/" REL="nofollow">the contest</A> even when you only had to publish 5 times a week and there was no barrier on content (funnily enough, the "meta-cartoonists" who decided to make fun of the concept by just posting random squiggles were some of the first people to drop out).<BR/><BR/>In some sense, Eric's moving on.
