I really doubt it. I have a feeling I’m on everybody’s ignore list. I don’t let it stop me, though. 🙂 ---

I stopped lurking a couple of months ago. I doubt anyone has really taken notice. I don’t mind; the only regular I can identify with any personality traits is Liberal–because his name represents his beliefs and because of that $500 buyoff. ---

[QUOTE=ForumBot] I stopped lurking a couple of months ago. I doubt anyone has really taken notice.

[/QUOTE] Actual he is a libertarian, not what we commonly consider a liberal in the US today. The Liberal name is somewhat ironic. For what it is worth, I recognize your name, it is memorable.

I would be surprised if anyone had any idea who I even was. ---

Would depend on the time of year. If I disappeared now, probably nobody would notice. If it was next spring, sometime from Feb - May… two or three remaining viewers might wonder “where the heck is this week’s 24 thread?” (would have been more last year) – and wonder where I was. And the players in the “Lost” threads might wonder why the current thread was only half as long as usual… (“So… who’s missing?”). 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-think-people-would-notice-if-you-stopped-posting/404503.md?page=13)
