If there are so many ways to be famous in such small niches, maybe Andy Warhol's "15 minutes of fame" should be reduced to a minute or two. On the other hand, if you want to nominate me and make me a little bit famous, I wouldn't mind. One of the people in the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame is someone I once worked with. He used to boast that, when letters to the editor started slowing down, he would write a fake letter and publish it -- "all stray dogs should just be shot" was one of his favorites -- just to get readers worked up and writing again. "Fame" doesn't mean worth or quality. It just means "made his mark."
