Are You A Thread Killer?

Postby MARV » Thu May 12, 2005 12:25 am

Do you post in a thread only to find that, even after many days, that no one has posted after you? Do you find that no one replies to the point you've made? Or answers the question you've posed?

Come one, come all and let us share our tales of grief, wonder and utter disbelief that such a thing could ever happen to us. Because this is the sort of thing that only happens to other people, right? And in the sharing, let us find comfort, solace and peace of mind.

Don't worry friends. You're not alone. We'll get past this together.

Ahh yes, that sting of seeing your post sinking to the bottom of the thread post pile despite repeated bumps to keep it in that crucial first page list. [V]
Such as the nature of public discussion forums.
Sometimes it's a matter of timing your post to

Haha, good post. Yeah, I've posted on long threads only to have it all but stall out completely. I've chosen to pride myself on it using the logic that my opinons are so spot-on and profound that board members feel they need not expound on or otherwise co

I felt terrible when I started a thread asking about people's favorite Yanni songs. I did my research carefully and wrote at length about several of my favorites. I even tied them in to some rather personal stories with memories tied to those songs. No
