Hilarious and so true! Thanks for pointing this out. It has only been one active week for me but I'm getting tired of the attention/vote grabbing already.
As you said, participation equals a request for acknowledgement or response or involvement of some kind, no need to double and triple that. Gives us the feeling you think we're stupid and I mean who wants that?
Yeah. Howling for attention by saying, essentially, "pay attention to me!" is not going to be a long-term effective tactic, I don't think. Maybe I'm wrong. I can't even pretend to any special knowledge on the subject.
