The Donkey

Once upon a time there was an old woman who kept a donkey, which she used to pull her cart to town.
She was very poor, and gradually worked out that if she fed her donkey a bit less it still survived, so this she did.
Over the next few weeks, she discovered that she could feed the donkey less and less with no noticeable effect.
So she decided to feed it nothing.
The donkey died.

In the last week during which I have made no postings, more people seem to have read my blog that when I do make postings.
Is there some message here?
