Stan Lee. Here's a better use of this thread: What are some thread titles here that that you constantly misread. For example there was a thread title in the GA/SA Sales area a while ago that read: BIG TITLES INSIDE! Well, everyone knows how that thread title was misread!! My example of misreading a thread title comes here in CG. The current thread title reads: Question: Best months for selling/buying slabs? I swear I misread the title every time as: Question: Best months for selling/buying Arabs? What are some titles that you misread? And sorry Kav, I don't know the answer to your question therefore had no choice but to make this thread about me!

ok thanks. now i understand

Fair enough opinion.

Don't know much about PPP. Why was he so angry?

While I respect you, I'm at the point where I'm not bored enough to continue. So, like you said, I'm out!

I don't understand.

Hunch? Obvious? I think the OP here is an obvious liar. I understand you wanting to leave. I appreciate you helping with my boredom.

Who's to say how to respond? It's an individual hunch. Maybe the Action #1 posting Dentist's copy is a kid who just needs someone to be nice to him. Why be mean and run him off he could become a great member of the community and grow into a life long collector? You draw the line and Action #1 poster in your example above. I draw the line at this thread's OP.

Like I said I'm fairly bored which is the only reason I'm soldiering on so bail at any time, but what makes the community response so different (and it's MUCH different) when first time posters ask How Much Is This Worth? kinda thread? Why assume the worst? Maybe they're a kid? and on and on...

I care as much as I do in this comic forum which is somewhat. And that's the gauge of my response. You're right, I question things.

In your original Vespa post besides being "detailed," meaning you put some effort into your request, did you say something to the affect (effect? I really need to learn the difference between those two words) Thanks for your help! ?? Reading your posts here for awhile, I bet you did which had an effect (affect?) on your responses.

Haven't seen any of those but I feel ya.

Since I don't feel like accompanying my wife food shopping and she believes me to be here at the computer writing her friend in jail a letter, I'd like to keep this thread going. What makes someone here believe a first time poster is a "drive by" or not? How do you decide how much effort to put into a reply of a first time poster? I think I've covered how I feel about this in my posts above. I'd like to hear others. Thanks.

You mean viewing the forum while not being logged in? I suppose that's possible. But from the facts I see, OP requested stories without putting much effort into it. Actually no effort. And than put no effort into coming back and seeing the positive effort that several people (not me so much, but others. I actually I didn't put any effort because I figured it was a drive by and I was correct in that) made in telling SL stories. I mean the OP came, posted one thing, NEVER returned. Again, perhaps they viewed responses (positive ones mind you) not logged in and decided not to return to say "Hey thanks for the stories!". I'm not gonna die on this hill, it's just my opinion dude made no effort at all.

OP came once, posted, never came back to see responses. Good responses, bad responses, sassy responses, any responses. OP just never bothered to come back regardless of what anyone posted.
