A lot of my responses to things tend to end threads, even when my posts are open-ended. I'm a dud, I guess. I don't know why I don't post more though, I guess I just tend to agree with a lot of things already said....
And I like Ash's posts! Most of them, anyway...
Heck, a lot of my beginnings to threads seem to end them. I have quite a collection of zero response threads I have started.
