That still bothers me, but I guess I'm becoming resigned to the essentially passive nature of this site (which is a real shame as it's based around the creativity of members). So given all that, I've started to wonder who all these watchers are, and why they are watching me. First thing to note - whenever I get a new watcher I always check out their profile, just to see who they are and what sort of things they post/like. Turns out there seem to be three different types who decide they want to
