1. I convince myself that I was swallowed by a sea of posts.
And if I think it was particularly clever, I might pea-roast it later.

4. Yes, Even Though I Don't Reply to a Lot of Good Posts
Sometimes there's a lot to chew on and I don't have anything to say.

6. No
Most of my threads suck anyway. I'm only interesting to me and I also am funny as hell to me. I know this to be true, so when my threads die...I just chalk it up to another life lesson.

9. No
DU is a sprawling, fast-moving place. Lots of posts get 'lost in the sauce.' Besides, I can't expect everything I post to garner appeal. Everyone has their own priorities and tastes, and if nobody responds to my post, no biggie :)

11. It happens all the time to my posts...
I chalk it up to bad timing or more important posts at the time, like "What is your favorite brand of cat nip?" There is just no topping it.

14. no, but i do believe my posts...
are often misunderstood, due to my sarcasm, cynical nature, and many attempts at humor.

19. The best is when you post and get nada,
then a minute later someone posts the same thing and gets tons of replies. LOL.

Are they offering free give-aways or something? Come on, fess up...

20. nope,
sometimes it's when things are moving fast and furious around here and new post just get swallowed up. Other times, it was a silly post and I'm greatfull when it just goes away. Finally, there are some post where people read it and don't really have anything to say.

Whatever the case, it doesn't hit me personally at all.
