i'm a moderator and i don't get that kind of action. :shock:

maybe i should be jealous.

She is just asking a generalized question, not a complaint,

I know no one has the intention to disregard another persons comment and we can't comment on everybody's posting, but it does make you feel a little slighted. Posting is really conversing with others and I want to make a conscious effort to do better about this, as I know myself that I have been guilty of the very thing that bothers me.

As one can see by my post, it is clear that I was talking about replying to a thread that has been posted by someone else and having your comment ignored. So that everyone may understand I was not whining about any post that I had started and felt ignored.
I only meant to use this thread to provoke thought to consider others this way when we are replying in a thread. I included myself so that I would do better about it too.

I see how easily someone can be misunderstood and am sorry that this has happened as I did not intend to be.

My thoughts were not necessarily about posting to a thread, but about posting on a thread and being ignored. Not always, but have you ever posted on a thread and felt skipped over or like your opinions, ideas, advice was totally ignored? There was never a mention or acknowledgement of it. Not that every post on a thread has to be talked about by everybody, but when it happens several times you begin to wonder why you bothered with the input.

Maybe I'm not making sense but I just wondered if others have had the same experience. And ladies I'm not bringing this up because it's just me. It is something I want to do better on because I know I am guilty of doing, the very same thing to others, that bothers me.

I hope this clears up any misunderstandings.
