Is there anything that feels worse than
posting to the Lounge and getting no replies?

7. Exactly! I think Loungers are becoming elitists...
It's the freakin' Lounge!!

I know that there is a "cool club" in the Lounge and I'm not in it...but If I read a post I will make an effort to leave a comment. It just seems like the considerate thing to do.

I don't know...maybe I'm wrong.

11. Well, I know for me personally, sometimes I am popping in and out
and don't see posts like that. And, if I do, if I don't know the backstory, I'm leery about weighing in.

I do try to post to the good vibes threads as much as possible, even if I don't know the person.

6. Happens to me all the time!
You get used to it.

The thing that gets me is, my post will have like 97 views and not one person could take the time out of their busy day (Ha!) to write a quick response?

WTF?

8. Can we start a club?
If so, I'd like to be a founding member, please. I'll bring the theme song.

12. Chopping jalapena peppers with a paper cut?
No, it's hearing "We need to talk" from your boss/best friend/significant other/etc.

13. When I first started here it sort of bummed me out
But it happens to me all the time and it doesn't bother me. I just figure it's because I'm not talking about some inside joke or the new fad of the week, so I don't expect replies.

I also guess that I have some unique interests and can't expect everyone to join in the discussion.
