Does every message here get read?

that ANYTHING I post will get read by someone, somewhere. Wow. What power, what responsibility. What an opportunity to make others feel superior.

I don't personally read every single post here, but somebody does, right?

Most of the threads I start are totally ignored once everyone sees my name as the OP. I don't mind, though, it's just another cross to bear. I'll go sit in the closet and cry now. :p

only a small percentage of OT threads have 0 replies, out of those, i am quite sure that almost all of them are read by at least one person , even though they choose not to reply

my WAG is that 99% of OT threads are read by at least one other person than the thread starter, perhaps as many as 99.5%

Dont' worry someone reads them, your mom called 5 or 6 people and asked that we read your posts. So don't worry. ;)

there are a few that drop without anyone ever replying, so its possible that no one read it, i doubt it, but possible

(i am assuming that clicking on a link implies it was read)

No way it is that low. It has to be up around six sigma land which is 99.999999%.

We can always ask Zuni. I mean Jason. There is a view counter, it is just not shown. 99.999999% would mean that 6 posts were never read by anyone besides the OP.
