Obviously, the tools here drink Munroe's cum for breakfast, as any fan would.<br /><br />What you mean to say, I think, is that this site is more devoted to XKCD than the folks visit the actual site. These folks are proportionately enthused, whilst Carl/Rob/crazy_bitch is(are?)disproportionately enthused. This is what we expect from fans--disproportionate passion which is uncritical and, often, irrational. This blog is all the evidence required to derive this conclusion.<br /><br />XKCD followers read, comment briefly, then move on with their lives. FANS make websites and devote hours of their lives to their passions.
