I know the feeling. But naturally some posts come right before or after a very exciting comment (very funny/something heated etc) or a very popular thread is keeping people busy so slowly they fall to the bottom of the page… There are also some comments that won’t get any responses because they don’t get anyone riled up enough to respond. As far as comments directed at specific people, I (don’t know about other people) only read the main CR page so if it “fell off” I probably wouldn’t notice it unless someone brought up the thread again.
I have no idea who you are. I hope I did not hurt you in any way, and I ask mechila if I did. IRL (and here) my personality is the “blend in” type. Its a little annoying sometimes, but ya learn to get over it 😉
(There are several posters here who I don’t remember ever acknowledging but I very much enjoy their posts. Just because a post didn’t “make waves” doesn’t mean it went unnoticed.)
