Why do people get so upset...." I don't get no responses to my post"

Do what you feel like doing.
If it pleases you to do a post then do it.
If your doing it to get noticed; then your doing it for wrong reason.
I have heard this from many people" I spend hours doing a post and I don't get responses to it "
BOO HOO
I have had people say to me..."I'm not posting anymore cause I don't get a response...Cry Baby....
If I spent an hour doing a post and did'nt get a response...I wouldn't give a SH%%.
IT"S WHAT I WANTED TO DO...plain and simple....


By the way...You don't have to respond to this...I don't care if you do....

Now this is the type of post I like to respond to, for so many numerous reasons. Ahh, where to even start

Well, first, I believe that we must start with the topic itself. Is it one of a find, tips, general questions, or any other topic deemed important by the writer. Once you have established topic, the next process is coming up with a tittle. For me the tittle alone could be a huge task. How do you think you will get the most eye catching topic tittle DO you go for humor, shock, BOLD FONTS, all CAPITALS, so much comes into play here.

Once I have the tittle and topic handy, I reach for my thesaurus, this way I am ready to substitute words at a more rapid pace.

Now for the story. You laugh at writers block, this is not a joking matter for some. I know at times I have a loss of thought and had to start writing this reply yesterday so it would be ready for today.

Then I sit back and watch how many take the time to even read the crap I write I just look at the little counter and think, boy, these people must have nothing better to do than to read the tripe I print. They read it and don't reply... No big deal, I've already accomplished what I wanted to do which was to drag them into my world for a few minutes.

See, some are still reading this crap.

Then you have to laugh at yourself and look what you were dragged into. Are you going to reply Hell no. Why reply, that would only give confirmation that you have wasted precious time and have your name associated with the topic for all to see. But it's already too late.. I'll sit and just watch the bottom of the page to see who has visited and I then add their name to a long running list I have compiled when I first got on here.

That's right... I know who you are

PA-Hunter will never reply and he already read this thread

That was the most coherent ramble I may have ever read! WTG Spartacus! I post on a lot of forums, between hunting, videoing finds , posting finds, editing and uploading the video to you tube for everyone to enjoy. I don't have time to read most of the posts.
I peruse the topics like I do the paper and look for thing that rate a WTG or Nice find. I try to do it as often as I can.
It really dosn't bother me if people don't reply, I put it out there ecause I love this hobby and like to tell the story and show the pictures.

Everything I post is interesting....TO ME! Sometimes I get no response but on some sites it will indicate quite a few "hits" even if there is no actual response. Once in a great while, what I write will strike a kindred chord in someone. A mentor of mine once said, "Jesus Christ was the greatest salesman of all time...but He didn't sell them all. And the ones he didn't sell killed him!"

I'm on some Photography forums and some Fishing forums. I tried something different. I posted: "I've finally learned how to use a bobber. If anyone else is interested, send my a PM and I'll get the info to you." It went okay at first...got 68 requests, some on the board and some by PM. Then...I started getting flamed. "what's this PM crap?" "Oh I get it...it's a secret." or "Why not just put it here?" "I'll bet his big secret is how to find used condoms and tie them up as a bobber." After that, lots of condom comments. After that, no responses on the board for 1.5 months. And then some lady came on and replied, "[FONT=&quot]'sandtrout', thank you so much for sending me 'how to use a bobber part 1 and part 2'! You must have put a lot of time into this. It is very interesting and detailed information that you provided. It's information like this that keeps me coming back to this board. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and your experience! I'm grateful to you for replying to my request and answering each of my questions! Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward for you to complete part 3....... [/FONT]then I got a bunch more PM request and only 2 flames. Of course I love myself...I'm always surprised when it's contagious!

Chicago Ron, my rambling was nothing more than an off the cuff joke not unlike most of my posts, but it may make you think twice before posting on any of my threads.

Sandtrout, with a nickname like that, who'd ever think you were into fishing I don't know why you would ask for unnecessary PM's when you could have posted all the info at once and let people read it live instead of waiting for you to get back to them. Sounds like your method is too time consuming, and having to reply 68 times!!!.. That would be a waste of my time. just having to reply to 1, or 2 requests.

sonofadigger, that alone was the problem from another post too funny

People are lucky enough to get my comment once, have a chuckle and move on
