My dad works in newspapers and from him I know: They have a rather specialised paper for a distinguished and loyal target group. Readers how start sending the cross-word results half an hour after the mail-man gave them their copy of the paper. And still if they get 1% of the regular readers to answer in a survey, they are very lucky and high above the average rates. So if you only get one feedback a year, don't worry (and look at the download numbers!). But eventually you will get one feedback a year long after you stopped doing that stuff. For example there are still people using C++2LaTeX which I stopped using and developing in 2003... Have fun, Arnold
