I think it's a unique and not always harmless skill to know how to work people. I can see how it's frustrating to not able to Lively Up the place. You can't blame yourself. (I have 0 of these skills. It reminds me of Planes, Trains and Automobiles, e.g. the bus scene, where Neal couldn't sing anything to be followed and Del hit it off instantly with anyone) |
My take- don't worry about the "likes" or positive feedback from your posts. (It's a dopamine hit, I know). Instead, just contribute where you can here, there and elsewhere. I got frustrated back in 2014 that none of the sites were addressing my particular interests so I started my own. (It's not a high traffic, forum type place, more for my own musings, and a fair amount about records, not gear). I take breaks from this place and others. There are still some good contributors here. Sometimes the s/n ratio isn't good but I just ignore it or don't visit for a while. If your health is still decent and you enjoy the hobby/music/whatever your angle is, that's really all that counts.

@elliottbnewcombjr I also have enjoyed and learned from your postings. Still somewhat of a newbie, I have often referred to your postings for quite a few topics. Hopefully you will check in from time to time. All the best to you! |
