Topic: How many posts have you really made?

There are quite a lot of people here with a pretty hefty post count..

But, how many of all these posts are actually ones with any kind of substance. If you take off all the posts you have made that are merely just a smiley, or merely just a good morning, or a ((hug)), how many posts are you left with?

Personally i am yet to make a post with any substance, but hopefully one day i will.

Also, does anyone else get annoyed when you peek into a thread and see page after page after page of people talking about nothing?

at one time, on one site, I had a very hefty post count...I think I made 5 out of the 17,000+ that had any substance....the rest...quite meaningless really..

my favorite thread is a thread where we go in and chat about our days.. and joke and laugh with eachother.. just chit chatting..

the best way to get to know someone is by their day to day actions...

I read a few posts here and there, a couple of times, I have replied with a serious and thought out post...on topic and to the point of the discussion...it did not seem to really get recognized by the OP as he was more interested in hitting on the young women that sympathized with him...as long as the OP is not interested in a serious post, then I don't bother anymore...

I try to read the political threads to learn...however, almost anytime I ask a question or make a comment, it is either not answered or just ignored...I am not argumentative enough in most of the political threads so I can understand that..

I really just do not post much anymore...maybe I got burnt out on it...*shrugs shoulders*

yeah deb, the political threads here are pretty much monopolized by nutcase partisan bomb throwers and if you just wanna discuss something without bashing Obama or McCcain they are not interested

I have filtered out the political threads until after the elections for that reason. Not that i really got involved posting in them, i am a foreinger that knows little about it all, but i got very bored even reading the threads.

There are many threads everyday where the OP either takes no real interests in the posts made, or just disappears never to return again. I find that very annoying, especially if i have thrown a nice insult in and am waiting to see if they have a comeback! lol

and many times the OP will ignore a responce to the topic if they dont know you or dont like what you have to say..

realy depends on the OP and the subject matter...
example.. see above..

I hate those "fire and forget" threads and tend to take em over and twist em around to my own purposes

I always read your posts in the political threads Robin, you are one that has a brilliant mind and you tend to stick to facts and accurate history...

I often miss posts like i did yours as you posted while i was typing!

I dont just talk to the people i know, but i know that does happen a lot.

I have nothing against chit chatting, but i do have something against pages of absolutely nothing. Chit chatting can be interesting, and funny, just a lot of what i read has NOTHING of interest, page after page..

Whatever reason, I do not take a thread serious if the OP does not take an active part in it...

I will even check back the next day or so to see if they have shown any interest in the thread...many times they don't.

If I respond to a serious question about a serious issue, and I have put thought into it, which I generally do, and they just blow it off...I don't post anymore then.

Regardless, I tend to think of a thread as a conversation...when I am involved in a thread, I go back and read...I try to stay caught up with the posts and respond accordingly...

I have stopped posting in many types of threads...it just seems to be a waste of time...

not many people here know me, and the ones that do probably don't really like me all that much...so I guess posting anything anywhere might be just a waste of space then... lol

Boston Legal is on tonight and I like that show...
