Damn you academics always trying to paint us into corners.

Just trying to determine a common standard. Like saying who was the greatest athlete of all time. Without rules for measurement, a silly exercise.

Ahhh a man that understands with out measurables, there is no measure.

Do you have a fan club sir?

I suppose fandom is a pretty broad concept. Let's just say that I have people who pay attention to some of the things I do and say, though their motives are not clear about why. Employees excepted, of course. Any leveraged relationship cannot, by definition, be a true fan.
