Has any test thread with the word “ignore” in the title(for for example, [this one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=728913)) ever actually been totally ignored and not responded to at all? ---

It wasn’t that hard, actually; I just sorted the forum by number of replies and then looked through the 0-response ones to see if any said “ignore.” There might be more than that, but I quit after the first few pages or so. 😃 ---

If some of you had been _thinking_, there would still be no replies to this thread. 😃 ---
