Poll question: How do you feel when a top post of yours goes up in popular flames?
You know those little icons when they go up in flames? You know why they go up flames like that? They go up in flames because you, my friend, are very popular. They like to hear what you have to say, and they like, no, let me correct myself, THEY LOVE YOU! They kiss the ground you walk on. They write poetry in your name. They name children after you, and they scream your name during sex!


HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?

1. I dig it
But it doesn't happen to me very often. But I don't start a lot of threads either so maybe if I was more prolific in my posting I would have more popular flames.

5. I made one post in LBN...
that got 177 replies. I was stunned because even though I've been here 2+ years I still feel trepedatious about posting. That occasion did make make me feel good, however.
Usually I bomb, but that's oK! Just another voice among many...I'm sure people who take the time to read my inane dribblings here know I'm a dingbat but my heart and intentions are good.

7. My dear Tom Kitten! You are no dingbat, and your writings
do not dribble! You nearly always have interesting things to say; I enjoy reading what you write...

Good Grief! :hug:

9. Hi there, dhinojosa,
I've seen those little flamey icons, and I always thought that those meant that you had new entries...I had NO idea that it meant I'm popular!

Will wonders never cease...:shrug:

12. I do like it, but
I think it's more about what I posted than me being popular since about 80% of my posts go unseen by most.

13. I've only had a couple good posts
but never one that even went past 100...

I just don't think I write good posts and usually mind go down the tubes with a few minutes. Especially here in the Lounge.
