Why do you assume it reflects badly on you or your thread that those people didn’t respond? That wouldn’t be my first assumption. My first assumption would be that I had crafted such a damn fine question/topic/thread that they had to go off and think about it! ---

If I could, I’d post twice without viewing, just for you Talkingsquirrel. 🙂 Wasn’t there a thread recently that was attempting to determine the optimum post/view ratio? Did they ever figure it out? What I really want is for them to break the numbers down for us. How many unique viewers? Who looked 2,3, 4 or more times? Who started to reply but then decided that it sounded stupid and cleared it? What did they say? I need information, people! ---
