Well, at least you read the damned thing! (see, $tretch --you can waste a lot of time and eloquence for very little return. 
I don’t wear heels, but I envisaged a nice kitten heel impaling one of the more obnoxious Pit-ites…this image gives me pleasure.
:dubious:

No, it’s not standard.
It is an option that you have to purchase.
Oh… I see that you did. 
Welcome. Beware of the deep sections of the ocean. You may only vistit there once. Choose your time carefully.

Is it standard for newcomers to be ignored?
::tumbleweed rolls by, lone dog barks once in the distance::
For 20 minutes? In 1960?
So, lesson #1 is to post abolut how you’re being ignored.
Heh.
Posts that will almost always get responses:
And welcome!
Well so far you have broken a rule. You mentioned a cat without posting a picture of said cat. Some Dopers advocate time in the room with the squid tank for such a crime, but I’m not that mean. At least on a first offense.
Welcome! Don’t step on the cats! Would you care for a margarita?
Everyone ignores me, too, so don’t feel bad. I asked for good-luck-wishes in the MMP and didn’t even get one response. But maybe I got them anyway, 'cause I won the election!

Of course we wished. Not supposed to tell about wishes or they won’t come true!
Seee? It worked!

Crap. Try not to mess you your tags like I just did. Now I’ll be ignored for a month. Again.
or post something contrary to what shodan says in order to start a debate.
we need a list of top thread-killers. i think i could be up there. i’ve offed about a half dozen in my limited time, and i’m kinda proud of it, for some reason.
that same list should have top hijackers. let’s not call it the “terrorist awards”, shal we?
hey, i gave you your first “how ya doin?” just to get the ball rolling, and to my knowledge, i got no reply, missy.
top “multi-posters” should be recognized.
and i am your king.
i desire chicken mcnuggets…and…pepsi…
underlings, fetch!
Also, we generally don’t speak to those who haven’t paid to join.
Who’m I kiddin’. . .nobody talks to me, either.
I was without a computer for a few days! so

What LucyInDisguise said! Life has been insane this week, I am waiting for the next MMP to relate the going’s on. (going on’s? No apostrophe? Open entry for grammatical/spelling corrections!)
Oh, and Chefguy, first you make an Island Trash comment (and I did finally recall the Valley Trash reference,) and now I am noboby. Hmmpf!
That was my evil twin. I see where you guys missed out on having Costner’s new movie filmed there because they were afraid of the volcano. What a bunch of whiners.
a likely excuse, woman…yeesh
i feel hurt.
console me.
sniffle
$tretch, keep in mind the fact that not all posts require an answer. I may read your post and think, “Nice thought. I agree.” or “Just another dimwit.” but in neither case do I feel a need to post a reply. Good posts do not necessarily get rewarded.
Although they should, IMHO.
I have posted many times and not gotten a reply. I am not bitter about this at all.
Disappointed at times, yes, but not bitter.
True, it is nice to be noticed, and it doesn’t require much effort of other posters.
wads up a damp Kleenex in his hands and sniffs a time or two
So don’t expect much of other posters as they obviously have better things to do than reply to your posts. The unfeeling bastards. sniffs ostentatiously
Oh god; the lack of sensitivity around here is horrible…tries to recall where he put that sharp steak knife
Take pride in what you post, even if no one else gives a rat’s ass. And they don’t, I assure you. sniffs again, wipes eye with soggy Kleenex
