hello and hi to everyone.

it's hard to keep track of everyone. I wish there was an official cellar welcome mat or some kind of regular place for everyone to be greeted. I am sure I've missed some. There's newbies spilling all over the place :P

If they enter without fanfare and blend in, they belong here. They already know it.

Also, a lot of our "newbies" aren't entirely newbies. They're lurkers that have been found something important enough to post about.

I know someone who has been reading for as long as I've been a member here, and he still hasn't posted a single word. Is he part of the community? Yes. Do I wish he would post? Absolutely, because he has a lot of interesting things to say.

I am pleased by the influx, incidentally.

Should I not have made this post? I didn't feel right just kind of joining into the threads.

Your post(s) was/are fine. Everyone is different and comes to the playground in their own way. Welcome.

So what if you feel like you blend in, and lend what you think are interesting comments, and everyone ignores you? Shall I chalk this up to paranoia, or am I just not nearly as fun as I think?

I get ignored all the time. Or, made fun of. *shrug* I've gotten lots of support too. It's usually a crap shoot, but no reason to stop posting. Hang in there, fellow Ohioan!

Everyone is ignored at some point. Don't take it personally. Quite often what happens is a post is read, and there is nothing really to comment on. Doesn't mean it's being ignored, just not responded to.

Thanks!

However, I thought my thoughts on employment testing were pretty good.

PS: I am paranoid...I could just SEE you all mailing each other "check out the weirdo, what a dolt, sheesh" etc and so on.

When you made a post that is the definitive last word, there's nothing left to say.

I don't think that happens, even among the Philly locals (at least they're not letting me in on it

), but why bother when we can come on the board and razz ya.

Now THAT I would call a compliment!

Flattery will get you somewhere!

I assure you, if anyone thinks you're an idiot, you'll receive almost immediate feedback.

In case you need the reassurance, I do not think you are an idiot.

So far.
