My Postings .... I Never get any replies ...... Why

[IsItJustMe]

I have changed my name for this as I do not want anyone to start replying to my other postings to calm my neurosis! But - I have been posting for a while now - and none of my postings seem to generate any interest or response. They are issues that I think are relevant and might be of interest to others but bar one or two oneline responses no-one seems interested in my threads. Perhaps my approach is wrong.
I'm not very interested in more chatty postings like Coronation Street or Cherie Blair - maybe I should be, as these seem to go on for weeks.

ohhh I need a new iron, did you ever get any replies Rhiannon?? I haven't bothered getting a new one up until now 'cause really I don't use it that often..........

I was just thinking the same thing IsItJustMe... it really is odd how this posting has had so much response... not least because the times I have thought this are too numerous to mention I have often wondered am I such a bore or even in cognito do people really not like me enough to respond so I'm glad to read once again,,, that it's not just mine!!!

Batters & Soupdragon

Isitjust me - I'm still waiting for a reply to a question I posted the christmas before last.

I know it wasn't an up and coming parenting subject, but I was DESPERATE to find an inflatable father christmas, and had anyone seen one?

I was hoping that with swathes of mumsnetters shopping all over the uk, someone would have spotted one. Not a thing.

So, I can understand how you're feeling. I'm still smarting from the lack of replies....

Just don't forget to look out this christmas....

It can be offputting though. I signed on here first when I was 33 (hence lou33), and I am 36 now. I got so fed up not being answered I disappeared for about a year. It did feel a bit like a private club, but it's a lot friendlier now. Lucky for me I gave it another go .
