I'm just reading this now and I thought verne's question was a good one. I was puzzled with Bob's interpretation until verne agreed with it. Well, even if verne was calling me dishonest, I don't thing he's uncivil by asking my motives about something.
That aside, most babblers make their posts public and not private babblemail because they want others to view their post's, a kind of "someone look at what I'm thinking right now." I wanted people to know the irony I find in wanting praise and having a difficult time accepting it (that is about me). Then people replied and I began to share more about myself than I originally intended. Some posters said nice things about me that made me uncomfortable (kind of the theme here), so I commented it was becoming to much about me. verne's question was a good one nonetheless. The truthful answer is, yes - every post that I make is a vain attempt to have someone else validate me. I think I'd really be sick if I thought I'd get it every time.
