I seriously doubt it. But I sure would like to see Eve posting more. ---

Nope. I periodically drop out for a few months when I am finding the board too negative, and there’s never been a response. ---

I doubt it. I usually read the Dope for entertainment and edification. I’ll post an occaisional snark, or actually put in my two cents when I have an informed opinion. I’ve also flamed out a couple of times (banned once) posting on subjects that are painful to me while drunk. _Not_ recommended. Usually, when I want to post something, it’s already been said. ---

[QUOTE=Idle Thoughts] Basically, after reading [this thread where people ask where Lissa is](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=421066) it makes me wonder. Would people notice if I didn’t post for, say, two weeks? I like to think so, but then I think “eh, you’re nobody. You’re not really a regular or prolific poster.” So I don’t really know. [/QUOTE] You’ve got to be kidding. Notice my absence? Hell, they barely notice my presence. ---

I really doubt if anyone at all would miss me! I’m not what you’d call a ‘frequent’ poster, but I do hang out here an awful lot. I know that I’d miss many of you if you stopped posting! ---

Well, Considering I recently started a [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=422715) that ran to 6 pages and didn’t post more than about twice therein _and_ nobody said shit about it, I imagine I wouldn’t be too missed.
