I know people are usually just trying to be extremely polite when they introduce themselves with some variant of "I'm so sorry, I have to admit I've never read your stuff," but honestly...
it's a-okay! It's not a crime! We'll get through this.
After all, I don't walk around telling people "You know, I hate to admit it, but you've never filed any human resources paperwork for me," or "I feel terrible about this, but I've never actually had one of your colonoscopies."
