Brian Keene has complained about that aspect of the internet himself, in an interview in one of those book review podcast type things people do. Readers now, they expect to be able to interact with their favourite writers, and they get annoyed if they don't get an immediate reaction from them. The only way around that would be not to have any kind of internet presense under your real (or pen) name.
