I'm posting to post because I find the names interesting enough and worthy of inclusion. If people read it they do. If they don't, they don't. It's not a matter of readership or an audience. I'm happy for the responses people give, but I have no sleepless nights if I don't get replies to my posts or my community reputation isn't advancing at a certain pace. Conversely, I have virtually no interest in any of the Death List extra-curricular topics that seem to occupy some people's time. What I have noticed in at least one person does take an interest in my posts because many of the names get added to the Wikipedia 'Deaths in 2018' page, essential reading for any deadpool player, Deathlist participant or not. Whomever that is, I thank them for their efforts at including the names on that page. That's probably the closest I get to having a goal here aside from providing content.
