Sheilaz Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 are people not answering... have i said something wrong????? or offended anyone??? Well, I don't know because I've only just logged on, but thought I'd better answer this Actually, I do know that you're not being deliberately ignored, that would mean a whole forum conspiracy, so you can rule that out! You're quite an active member so, over all, a lot of your posts do receive a lot of replies. So, it's probably that people read the question but don't know the answer, and also the fact that we don't all reply to everything anyway. After all, ask yourself, do you reply to everything? So, it's bound to happen occasionally that a topic looks abandoned compared to some others, there are so many! Also, how long ago did you ask the question, perhaps it seems a long time when it's not really? ....I'm off to see what topic it was, but I don't promise to reply, but all the best to you in getting some helpful answers.

WarrensWorld Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 What was your question? How does the person who drives the snow plough get to work?. Not all posts are answered, it's a bit like life really. If you post it again I'll ask Eileen, she knows everything!. Omlet Nesting Box, the world in a nut/egg shell.....

Couperwife Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 dont worry, there are a lot of posts in a day, i can come on here 3 times in one day and still miss posts thats how come the "crazy" thread appeared - it started with people wondering if they were "thread killers" some people answer with "I dunno" (or dont answer at all) and some actually really do know the answer, so i think it depends with who is on line . dont worry - we are all thread killers at some point cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majorbloodnock Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Believe it or not, there's a term for this, Emma. The situation is called "Warnock's Dilemma". Bluntly, it asserts that there are several reasons why someone might not get any replies to a post, so trying to interpret the silence leads one into a dilemma.
