   Has anyone experienced this phenomenon?
   
   You read a post or hub by someone you have not encountered before.
   
   You become their fan.
   
   And after you do, you see a list of hubbers who other fans of that person are a fan of.
   
   And YOU are near the top of that list!
   
   Kind of freaked me out the first few times it happened.
   
   But then, I thought that it was because you tend to become fans of a certain type of person, so it's logical that people who are fans of yours, would also be attracted to become a fan of  that person.
   
   Any comments on this?
   Or it is just a commonplace event.
   Or am I just an idiot for even noticing this stuff?
   
   (OK, here's a chance for everyone to have a free shot at me )

      And I see that coincidentally you just happen to have 501 fans.
      Ok, I'll pat you on the head and say "Congratulations"

            Well, consider this as your nugget of information for the day. Hope you don't choke on it!
            
            And I'm descended from the worst of the baddest of the criminals.
            
            I crossed the street today against the red light. That's the kind of rough and tough people we are down here.
            So watch out!

                        Would you care to test that statement with a poll of Hub Pages spammers and religious afficionados?
                        And now I'm going to bed to cry myself to sleep after Gamer girl's viscious comments.

       Here's a new avatar for you that might help
       
       
       
       Just check with Maddie before you start using it just to make sure it doesn't breach Hub Pages adult guidelines.
