Are you a thread killer?

wondering who here sees themselves as a thread killer.

does it seem that everytime you post to a thread, it just kind of stops?

does it seem that people don't respond to what you say?

Do you think people skip over your posts?

Yes. I have a barrier here of age, culture, location, how much time i can and often views. I have 100's of posts but dont think i would be half as read as someone with maybe 200 or 300 posts, but i dont care - i like it here.

I wouldnt consider myself a thread killer, but i wouldnt say that my threads or comments are anything huge ... YET!! Mwahahaha

You can, but it won't help. Better get the money back guarantee!

A quick search shows that I've started 172 threads, and 22, or 12.8% of them, received 0 or 1 replies.

Out of the last 500 threads that I've posted to, 35 or 7% are ones where I made the last post.

Conclusion: I don't kill a lot of threads, but I can do it when I feel like it.

I shot the sheriff, but I did not kill the deputy.
I touch them, they die.

There are more than a few threads that I've posted something completely dumb and killed that particular thread.

Hey, I'm not in denial anyway.

I'm the Grim Reaper of Threads. Most of what I say either dies on the vine, or sends people screaming. Not all, but most. I think I'm guilty of blathering.
