Why do people start threads and then not answer. |
|
Or only answer the first couple of posts.

An excellent question, my dear...One I have asked myself a number of times.
Whenever I start a thread, I plan it so I can actually be at my computer for at least an hour, so that I can answer whoever comes by...
To me, this is at least common courtesy!
I mean, you start threads to get responses...so the least you can do is stick around to answer those responses....
UNLESS you have an emergency and need to leave..that's entirely different.

15. I always thought it was "where Angels fear to tread", |
|
but I grew up in the sticks. My idea of culcher is cloth napkins.

19. I think so, but in another verse...from memory, something like: |
|
Fools rush in Where angels fear to tread And so I come to you, my love My heart above my head Though I see The danger there If there's a chance for me Then I don't care

32. Ricky Nelson, though I hear Elvis' 1971 cover more often |
|
The original had James Burton on lead guitar and James played guitar for Elvis from 1969 on, so the music and lead guitar break on Elvis' and Ricky's are almost identical.

I went off to find Uncycopedia. I'm that arrogant. And It wouldn't let me in.

Why do so many bozo's start a thread then leave? This is not lounge etiquette. Just rude.

13. I'm sorry, did I offend you? |
|
No offense intended at all. It wasn't an experiment, I posted the thread then spent about 30 minutes trying to get into uncyclopedia(which sounds like a hoot but last time I was there, not so much) They really need better writers.

Sometimes we gotta hit the sack and check in in the morning. Maybe a thread shouldn't be started under those circumstances, but one gets a brainstorm, or brainfart, just before bed. Shit, I gotta hit the sack:rofl:
