Do you think people would notice if YOU stopped posting?

I’ve noticed that Sauron and Aries28 haven’t posted in a long time and hope they’re simply busy with life it’s ownself.

I have taken several extended breaks from posting since I joined back in 2003, usually during football season. After the longest one of them NoClueBoy mentionedin this post that he remembered me. That meant a lot, enough so that I thanked him when I came back to posting. As for others, I simply don’t know.

**What Exit?, ** I think you have me confused with someone else. :smiley: While my name is from Tolkien and I do write poetry, none of my poems have been where a Doper would have seen them. No harm done, though.

:smack: I am thinking of Terrifel, but I would still eventually notice you were gone.

If I stopped posting, there would be much wailing and rending of garments.

Mostly by me, but that counts, doesn’t it?

Well I have see **Dung Beetle ** in several threads recently, I don’t know about Jayne_Newell, but Jayn_Newell *Last Activity: 05-03-2007 07:24 PM * :wink:
[/QUOTE]

I’ve seen Dung Beetle around too. The fact that I couldn’t even remember how to spell Jayn shows how long it’s been since I’ve seen her.

And I’d definitely notice your absence. We tend to post to a lot of the same threads.

As for missing people, I miss PRR and Oakminster.

PRR — Like I would miss a large abcess on my posterior .

Oakminster – That guy had an awesome sense of humour . Not appreciated by many but funny none the less. :cool:

Hee! I had thought this name, unlike my old one, was confusion-proof, but I guess not.

Are you kidding? I’m Mr. Cellophane. If I posted incontrovertible proof of God’s existence including his cell number, e-mail address and photos of him shaking hands with Elvis I’d be ignored. **I could post the definitive solution to global warming that was not only easy to do but cost effective with immediate results and the silence would be deafening. **
God, I’m depressed now. Just ignore me.

Are you Amory Lovins?

See, I noticed.

Who am I? Nobody.

I don’t think people would notice or ask if I stopped posting. I thought about creating a big kerfuffle over something, then disappearing to leave a lasting impression. Oh, wait, that’s called a flameout and, well, that’s just not my style.

Yes, of course it does. :: pats silenus on the head::

Nope. Honestly, I’d be surprised if anyone here even knew who I was, let alone notice if I stopped posting. Perhaps it’s time for another “do you know me” game.

I usually avoid posting in a thread unless I’ve read through the posts fairly well. In this case, I’ve only skimmed over the names of the posters.

I can’t claim to recognize every one of you, but there are a lot I recognize and most I have a mental miage for. (tdn and alice_in_[del]underwear[/del]_wonderland I’ve seen pictures of, so I have psuedoavatars for them.

Anyway, I probably wouldn’t notice immediately if any one of you were to stop altogether, but I read what you post and… well… I just love you guys so much. I really mean that.

Can someone call me a cab? I think I dropped my car keys in the pool table!

Not unless “heaving a sigh of relief” counts as “noticing”.

I suspect that I’d notice, Shodan… and there would be no sigh of relief on my part.

Ditto on both counts.

Well, thank you, JThunder! But you aren’t one of the group of which I was thinking. :wink:

And speaking of which, I see that Left Hand of Dorkness has posted again after a period during which I didn’t see him.

Shodan

Whoops, Sarahfeena snuck one in ahead of me. But she already knows I would miss her. :smiley:

Regards,
Shodan

[QUOTE=Uncommon Sense]

I’ll usually show up in electrical threads since that’s what I do, but I doubt if anyone would notice if I stopped posting.
Speaking of missing…

The hell’s Crafterman? :smiley:

You called? :slight_smile:

[QUOTE=fishbicycle]
I can name one thing about you, Roadfood. You’re named after that Guess Who album, So Long Bannatyne, right?
[/QUOTE]
<ding> <ding> <ding> <ding>. And fishbicycle wins the prize!

Probably not.

I notice most people’s usernames, but don’t necessarily think of them later. So if I were to remember someone’s name, I might think hey I haven’t seen so and so…

You’ve seen a picture of my in my underwear? Or you’ve seen ME in my underwear? I are confused.
