What does it mean when your thread gets recommended, but nobody replies?

:shrug:

Oh, yeah, don't forget to do the same for this one.. yeah, yeah, I know... "The Recommender" is back. Sigh.

1. Rec'd.

Just kidding. Hi.

[Haole Girl]

3. Hi

:hi:

[elshiva]

2. I don't do that.

:shrug: But, maybe this person does it because s/he likes it, but has nothing to say... I usually just say "Thank you and K&R."

Sorry, I didn't Rec this thread. It's a valid point, but it's kind of trivial during an election cycle. I love trivia, though. :)

4. Do you mean to say trivia or trivial?

:shrug:

[elshiva]

5. Both, KC2. I like trivia. I just think people should not

recommend threads just because they like the poster. I like you, KC2, it's just I can't honestly recommend this thread. I like this thread, though. I hope you understand, okay?

6. ROFL

Thanks... really, thanks.

:rofl:

7. You're welcome.

8. They're too stunned by the awesomeness to reply?

maybe they feel inadequate?

9. Thanks, Jeff

I wish I could believe that! :hi:

10. usually if I do it it's to support an OP but not post something that might get me into a fight...

I'll rec controversial issue OPs and not respond to them for this reason. Sometimes I'll just rec and not reply if I see my point has already been made by someone else.

11. Thanks

This wasn't controversial, though (it's on page 2, now):
