Just to see the magnitude of the problem I have had with starting threads that have gotten zero replies, I found that I have (as of this moment) 33 such threads dating back to my first year here. Some are very recent.
As a personal favor to me, see if any of these deserve a glance and maybe even a reply of some minimal wording so that I can reduce their number.
There might be a hidden jewel, but judging by the number of Views (which is how they are sorted – descending order) that may be asking for a lot.
If you have the urge to take stock of your own “duds” and would like to share that information, please join me in this thread with your own version of how not to start a thread.
