Oh Sunny, I know the feeling of "being ignored" only too well. I sometimes post someting and eagerly await the friendly debate or comments, whatever, and ......... nothing. In my earlier posting days I would feel so offended and hurt but I have come to accept this as part of babble and not as anything directed at me personally.
I must be honest, there are so many posts I would LOVE to respond to but my tongue becomes totally thick and twisted. Or my fingers, to be more precise. Sometimes I simply just don't know what to say or how to encourage and give support. Particularly when I am not doing well myself.
And now that I think about it, one of my longest threads ever is a *negative one* that I started on Admin that has sparked a debate and a fair amount of discord amongst other babblers. I was feeling to blame and said as much but Dinah kindly and gently "set the record straight" for me, so to speak.
Stick it out, hang in there. I have and now babble is a part of my life that I cannot do without. Even if it does interfere with my work from time to time. I humbly apologise for all the posts of yours that I have not responded to. A while back, when my Dad died, you said something to me that still brings tears to my eyes when I think about it. You are special to me.
Sabrina
PS - babble again - if you had sent to me - I had email problems and all babbles, if any, got swallowed by gremlins.
