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
