Poll question: Do you respond to all posts in a thread, you originate, or not? |

Do you respond to all the posts in a thread, you originate, or not?

3. Well, you kind of get a feel for who does and who doesn't |
|
And, for some people who *always* reply to my posts I feel obligated to respond to their posts...I don't know...I was being more silly than anything. It's really quiet at work today, and I am a little bored (shhh...I didn't say that too loudly, did I?).

22. I believe you do know. It's a first for me though |
|
and maybe it's because I'm older but not necessarily wiser. It took me ten years to stop thinking of my first love without a twinge of pain & sometimes more. But I was able to handle it back then because I jumped into relationships to dull the pain. I can't do that this time.
But yes, I slept and feel better. You are very dear to be so kind to me!

We have a real sweet lady here in the Lounge, who is very polite and responds to almost everyone.
She lives in California.
I would never consider her kicking her threads.
You know her and love her, too!

17. I usually do, but it does depend on what the subject matter is. |
|
For instance, when I posted that I had been cigarette-free for a week, I responded to everyone who posted, because they were all offering kudos and support, and it's something I really appreciated.

Not only is it kicking your own thread, but it takes up space in the archives.

It is the same for many of the genealogy boards I used to be on. You had to realize that all the messages were going into the archives and post accordingly.

29. I always respond to all posts in my threads, my dear KC2! |
|
I feel as though I started the thread to talk to people...
Therefore, I respond when folks talk to me......
It's common courtesy, for me, anyhow!
I don't always respond to someone's second response.......that depends!
I don't mind kicking my own threads! :P
Sometimes, I won't post in someone's thread if I know that the poster never responds.....
That may seem petty, but it bothers me.
Oh well........

30. A little bit of several options |

I've let some threads fall like a lead balloon, but if I think one of my threads needs more attention and more responses, I will take to answering as many of the replies as I can in order to keep it going and to answer any replies that I feel need answering.

36. No. And the funny thing is the lounge is the only place where this seems |
|
to be an issue. I don't think anyone in GD, editorials or LBN would even necessarily think of doing it. One rarely sees a thread in any of those forums where the OP responds to all posts and thank goodness for that.
As far as the lounge is concerned, you also can't win for losing. If you don't respond to every post, some will feel snubbed. If you do respond to every post you are a shameless self-kicker.
So I do what works best for me.
I respond when I feel like it and I don't when I don't.
As for you, please don't feel obligated to respond to this post.
Do as you please and enjoy yourself.

You are right, somewhat, about saying, "can't win for losing." On the other hand, it seems to be a delicate balance.
I decided to respond to every post on this one out of courtesy, by the way. As long as I am able to tonight, anyway! :)

40. I have wondered about this quite a bit |
|
I posted in GD once and got more responses than I had anticipated.
I wanted to make more replies back than I did but it was overwhelming and took me so long that the thread was lost before I could.
I didn't know the proper etiquette for responding so late. I felt really stupid and although I didn't even think about kicking my own thread while it was in the active state it did cross my mind that after 2 days in GD any replies would kick it and how that would look really dumb.
I even thought about sending pms but then thought the people I was replying to wouldn't remember who the hell I was without the thread so...I felt stupid some more.
Maybe I worry too much? But when people are so nice I just want them to know how much I appreciate it.

if we had a footnote option or something like a closing memo. Where we could put final thoughts on a subject when the thread gets too long. Something that would show up as a reply to everyone who posted to the thread. Not to take the place of individual replies but to acknowledge everyone when it would otherwise be impossible.:)
Did that make any sense at all?

you mean bulk mail replies as pms. Yeah, but then everyone gets the identical message. At first they think it is a heartfelt gesture. Then they start PMing each other to see who else got the same deep message. Next thing you know heartfelt becomes shallow and lazy...people start talkin' about you behind your back...

62. I'm not sure what you mean by the phrase "you orginate" and how it relates |
|
to the poll.
It's rather a non-sequitor - asking if we respond too all posts in a thread. Then you ask "you originate". I don't get it. And then the final "or not", I can get that, except, of course, for how it it is to be associated to the question "you originate", which I am unable to parse into an answer.

2, 4 and 5.
Replying to every post artificially inflates a thread. But it's more because I often just can't think of a reply for every post. :crazy:

82. Hi Oeditpus Rex. I've been wanting to ask you all night.... |
|
...what is a grand slam? I've been getting so into baseball, that I'm taking hubby to a game! It's weird, but I feel like I'm part of history in the making...and I want to see another no-hitter now!

83. Home run with the bases loaded |
|
Four runs on one swing. Cubs lost last night when somebody with St. Louis hit one in the ninth inning.
Glad you're getting into the game. Who ya gonna go see? :applause:
I wouldn't bet on a third no-hitter, though. That'd be seriously pushing the odds. :7

84. I'm not sure...but it's Sept. 17th.... Rangers vs. LAA ? |
|
Hubby could get free tickets from work, so I said, "Let's do it!" Wish me luck!
Who is LAA?

Full, ridiculous name: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. :eyes:
They're a good ball club. You should see a good game.
Day game too, I see. Mahvelous. Baseball was meant to be played in the afternoon.

88. OK...I have a huge confession to make... |

I left in the 3rd inning. I know...I was stupid...so, technically I didn't see the whole game. And, all I remember was that it was the first year The Ballpark at Arlington opened (which is now called something else) and it was the year *after* Nolan Ryan retired. I'm telling you...I would have paid more attention if I knew the historical ramifications!!! That's why I have to see another one...it's like 1 1/2 potato chips... (that sounded silly, didn't it?). I'll ask my older sister, later this week when I talk to her...she was the one who gave me the free tickets-- hopefully she remembers!
Edit: I found it! This was the game: July 28, 1994: Kenny Rogers becomes the first Ranger pitcher to ever throw a perfect game, blanking the Angels, 4-0, at The Ballpark in Arlington.
Oh, oh...it was the Angels, too. It could happen again!

I was thinking Kevin Brown, but his was later, when he was with Florida.
Perfect game. Cripes. There's only been a dozen or so of those in baseball history.

90. Really? Well, you'll have to try to catch the Rangers vs LAA |
|
I can promise you...if I'm going, it will be some kind of statistical anomaly! :toast:

92. I respond to most, if not all of the people who reply to my OP |
|
That is, unless there are a brazillion responses (which is rare).

I feel it's the right thing to do to acknowledge everyone who takes the time to post in my threads. I don't like to leave people out if I can help it. :)
However, I usually won't kick my own thread if it's been more than a day. Unless there is something important I want to say (which doesn't happen often. :P ).

It's not to keep my threads kicked---it's because I have usually asked a question or started a discussion, and I'm genuinely interested in the responses. :) I know there have been times when I've gotten busy or a thread has gotten really long when I haven't responded, and for that, I apologize. :hi:
