I'm not saying you're a troll.
>Maybe I just don't get enough attention with good posts. :-(
This does explain to me why you maybe wrote 3 *trigger* messages in a row. Trigger messages sometimes, although warn others, also draw attention to others posters, I think. Although other posters may not reply, people do still read trigger messages.
I'll open a trigger message, but the *trigger* part in the title doesn't do anything to stop me or warn me personally, its what inside I read and what I respond too.
When you say about writing good posts, I have quite afew times written large posts and in them they have contained information that is personal to me and took quite alot out of me to write at the time. No one responded. I did think to myself why? At least someone could acknowledge what i've said, but to have nothing. Then I realised, but what i had said was enough, and people didn't feel they needed to respond to it after reading it. Theres many reasons why people don't respond to peoples good posts. Try not to worry about the approval of others when writing good posts, but when writing *trigger* posts, then worry, or take more thought about the approval of others.
Your messages didn't upset me, as I think you understood my replies to them.
Take care
Nick
