Apparently... I'm doing something wrong.
.
.
.
I've been seeing more and more of my posts just sink like rocks -- minimal
views and way too often no replies.
.
Tonight, that hit me in the face. There's 4 of my posts in a row -- and three
from others above and below them.
.
Views:
.
The 6 above and below: ......2577 views
My 4 posts: .........................87 views
.
.
Replies:
.
The 6 above and below:.........138
My 4 posts:.............................0

Maybe I'm just blowing smoke up my own ass.
.
.
.
.I'm going to take a break for a while and think about what I've been doing.

1. I can't speak for others,
but I have found your posts amusing although I'm both new and not exactly a prolific poster.

I think it might be difficult for people to respond to amusing pictures, or at least I find it difficult to do so myself. To me there's not a lot to respond to, although I can see why the lack of response to your posts would be frustrating and disheartening. In other formats, I'm not particularly likely to respond to an amusing comment, but then again, I'm a bit antisocial.

3. I don't have to open your threads to get a kick out of them.
Often the title itself makes me laugh.

And I always always wonder how you come up with such prolific material.

4. As good a popular author as Stephen King is, even he needs an editor.
Pick your spots.

5. Popularity ain't everything
I view your posts fairly often. I enjoy some, others don't tickle me. But I feel they make this a better place.

6. I enjoy your posts, MFM
I'm not on DU all that much now days, but when I am I always look at your posts. I saw that you made the front page a couple of times recently for some posts in GD. That's something to toot your horn about.

9. With the "unrec" feature being removed everywhere else,
I'd say it's high time we got the "rec" feature back in The Lounge.

12. Well, Michael Jordan scored a lot because he put a lot of shots up.
So, keep putting up the shots.

I click on all your posts, but couldn't possibly reply to them all.

Cheers.

16. hey
I haven't been around much so that is why I haven't been viewing OR responding, sorry. But agree with some above, sometime I look and chuckle, sometimes I don't really know how to respond. Other times it is a spit LOL thing - those I usually hit with a reply.

And face it nobody is 100%, some of them suck HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!

17. Could be you are being censored.
Many of your posts have a spiritual side comment in them also.

That does not say anything bad about you, everyone has good and bad, and things do that kind of stuff through many people.

I wish you the best, and hope for good feelings if you post here or elsewhere.

:loveya:

18. You amaze me, MFM.
I don't know how you're able to come up with so much quality material .... complete with pictures! And you're a master at fitting those pictures into your hilarious context. Your photo bucket account (or whatever you use) must be, like a terabyte or so.

:bounce:

20. I always read your posts. I just don't reply all that often. Take a break if you
need one but don't go away permanently.... you hear?

21. Yet another person who checks most of yours out
but often doesn't respond. I just enjoy 'em and let it go at that. And I DO enjoy them.

22. Uh oh
OK I resolve to reply to your threads, even if it's only to say "LOL" -- because I DO scan thru the lounge specifically looking for your funny threads, every day.

I just rarely post a reply.

23. Dood, I adore your posts!
They're smart, they're funny, and for the most part I relate to them. I don't always respond because hell, I'd feel like a stalker. But the place wouldn't be the same without you.

24. I look in the Lounge specifically for your posts.
If I skip a day I look back for what I've missed. Your talent is very much appreciated.

27. I came to the lounge curious. I stayed for the MFM.
BTW - your series on MFM's life has to be one of the funniest things I have read anywhere.
I had tears at the last one.
Hope you have a few more years in you.
Your humor sort of reminds me of Gary Larsen of the Far Side.

28. It's my fault.
I make it a point to read all your posts. I don't always comment, though.
From now on, I'll be a total pest, I promise.

29. I enjoy your posts,
but as you can see, I don't respond much to anyone!
But if I did, you would get a lot of "LOL" from me!
