In reply to the discussion: Why is it that when I post something, it sinks like a stone [View all]The Velveteen Ocelot
(131,505 posts)10. I think it just depends on when you post and who's reading at the time.
Just random chance. It's not you!
There are a very few DUers whose posts I don't read just because I recognize them as consistently posting tendentious nonsense, but with those few exceptions I read posts that look interesting regardless of whose they are. But like everybody else I'm not on all day and I might miss something interesting until it turns up a second (or third) time. And I don't comment on everything I read, usually because I feel I have nothing to add. It doesn't mean I didn't read it, or didn't like it; unfortunately the poster won't know that I read and liked it. So maybe I should comment more often?
By the way, I don't get a lot of responses either. It's just chance.
I think.

Informative posts don't get many responses. Ones that start spats are the big draws.
