Now that you mention it, that is a rather interesting and amusing
thing about this community.  As best I can tell, no one likes it when
their post sinks without a ripple.  Oh, we try to be brave about it
and we try not to let on, but we all notice it, huh?  For some, it
approaches that of an obsession, provoking public forlorn whimpers
when their post is met with silence.

And for a long time, I thought it was just me!  :-D

I wonder why that is?  I'll bet the psychologist types around here
could explain it -- especially a particular Sinister Social Scientist.

Well, this is gonna get interesting, Anne, Melissa and Tracy.  I'll
post the bio form, and *one of us is gonna have to go first!*

Tell ya what.  If everyone leaves us hangin' out there, twisting in
the wind, our grey underpants and pallid legs showing, we'll . . . 
. . .  we'll slink away quietly, our heads bowed, our spirits broken.

Just like Snape!  ;-)

not that she's noticed or anything  :-D
