4. I loooooove to post and walk away
I think I even had a thread called "I won't reply to you if you post here" somewhere. It was, understandably, popular. :P

6. Are you in the mood to close your italics properly?
Edited on Sat Sep-10-05 10:59 PM by jpgray
:D

Also, Oi Polloi is probably the name of some shitty skinhead punk group with ties to the National Front.

7. As long as the thread is going actively...like in the first hour or two..
I consider it a personal responsibility of mine to respond...

After all, I started the thread to hear from people...

So it would be less than courteous to ignore them...

It really BUGS me when people walk away from their threads...

It's insulting to me...:shrug:

8. It depends.
I try to keep track and respond to everyone, but I sometimes get distracted and "post and run."

14. sometimes
but I'm not very conscientious about it, so sorry if I've offended anyone here by not responding...I've done a few "drive-by" posts by accident, where I've had to go do something away from the computer right after I post, and by the time I look back it's been hours, so I'd feel stupid kicking my own inane thread...

21. Bite me, progmom.
I'm in a foul mood. No one responded to my posts today. Also, I killed just about every thread I posted in. This one is not long for this world.

31. Thanks...it was really more of a faux rant.
But Yivvers hasn't answered my question in her "ask me anything thread". You think maybe she's passed out?

29. Ah here's our dear Tom Kitten....
How are you tonight? And the happy Felix?

But the burning question is: How did the house hunting go?

Did the miracle happen, and you found something wonderful and affordable?

:hug:

35. Certainly...
... I find that my readers want to know more about LostInAnomie the person and the thought processes that take place before I submit my life-changing posts.

That and most people don't know what the hell I'm talking about so I have to clarify.

38. Some of both. Like, tonight, for example, I'll post to anyone who...
...posts to my "trying to get to 10,000 posts" thread (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3986728), unless you're on my ignore list--which no one I've seen tonight is. But, if they were, I guess I wouldn't see them, anyway. Besides, it's only one person.
