I post the same pictures, jokes and general stuff on 4 forums each time.
On one forum which is very lively - a post will receive several replies and often sponsors a stream of off-topic humour from numerous members
On another forum the same post will be viewed by up to 40 members without a single reply. On the other two forums which includes this one I usually get a response from one or two members but quite a few viewings.
I am happy to see the posts viewed and appreciate a response - but I am not dissuaded from continuing to post because I know that people are looking at them even when they don't respond. They are not being rude but are enjoying the moment on their own.
Hence I understand what you are saying Davo - but can also empathise with andsomes argument.
Hence I am absolutely certain and quite sure that I am ambivalent regarding which is best.
To post or not to post. That is the question
Whether t’is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of the lack of responses
Or to take umbrage against a sea of being ignored, and by opposing, end them
To withdraw, to post no more, and by such sleep to say we end the heartache
and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to. T’is a consummation devoutly to be wished.
To withdraw, to sleep, perchance to dream – ay, there’s the rub.
