Uh... that is not a fact, Donkey.  You have no means of knowing whether you had "a few thousand readers" or only three.

I can say, speaking from experience, that I skip over the articles in local circulars when searching for a vegetarian-friendly restaurant.

If the man is intent on deluding himself that 
he once had “a few thousand readers every 
month” you will never convince him he didn’t.

Doubtful -- and unsupported.

More likely, you showed your column to George Sulzbach, Dark Queen, and a few other close friends.

People interested in poetry, art and music buy journals/magazines about poetry, art and music.

People interested in finding dinner in a strange town, turn to the local circulars.

I know at least hundreds of people who did read Playgrounds, every issue.

Here is an archive of several issues of Playgrounds, found of the Facebook page:

There's a good archive of the last few issues of Playgrounds Magazine there, scans of each page:

So what?

You don't speak for everyone, and certainly not readers interested in poetry, art, music, and so on.

Yes, the magazine was a great venue for artists.

No, the magazine was a great local venue for local artists.

It was also a great local venue for local businesses to advertise in.

However, its circulation and, therefore, influence did not extend beyond the city whose businesses it advertised.

Anyone here who had a single poem appear in a nationally/internationally circulated literary magazine, regardless of it's print run/circulation, has topped you.

You had a column in a local listings paper; you hosted a local public access tv show and appeared in a local commercial for a local car dealer; you performed in local bars and local concerts; you even won a local award given by a local paper to locals in various local professions.  In fact, apart from a brief sojourn in nearby Florida, you appear to have spent your entire life in the (local) Columbus/Atlanta area.  In short, you're strictly a local act.

That’s just your opinion will  

Just because ‘you said’ something’ doesn’t make it a fact or even close to the truth.  
Do you actually think that the majority of us believe anything you post?
Not even you are that delusional.
