Journal mercedo's Journal: Sammy 9
As is usual, I started in my fan's list. I check the list prior to everything before I start reading a journal and writing a comment.
I noticed the name 'SamTheButcher (574069)' in the middle of the list. Once in a blue moon I opened my friend's list. It is not often, although I often click 'Friend's journals'. So when I saw his name, I thought I misclicked the friend's section. Sometimes when I misclicked my friend's section, I misunderstand I've got as many fans as I have in my friend's section. I registered 150 friends in which only 50 are my fans. Thus I never imagined seeing his name in my fan's list.
Finally I was recognised by one of the Slashdot giants. Banzai!

absolutely nothing
246, 266, 285, 278 don't make many differences. But 392 has some sense. Generally speaking if you became extremely popular in Slashdot, you tend to acquire tens of thousands of fans. Some user register few friends and acquire many fans becasue of their fame, so this is a criterion of our popularity among Slashdotters. But if Slashdotters became extremely famous among people in general public, the result is

When I started writing journals here 1.4 years ago, it seemed nobody was reading except for Marxist Hacker 42. The number of comments had been always 0,0,wondeful. Although I knew there's a message function,
