I think the issue can be not only with the secondary posters but the OPs as well. Sometimes the OPs post somethig and they don't clarify what they need as far as support. They don't say "I just need a sounding bored", or "I just need folks to hear me". They don't always say whether they actually want an opinion or whether they just want folks to jump on the pity wagon with them. Being that the majority of us are not mind readers and we are communicating electronically, this opens the door for many misconceptions. I think the maturity level of both the OP and the secondary posters also comes in to play as well.
Kind of like this thread....as I read it, it began to feel snarky, like the purpose was more to complain and attack others than it was to really communicate and solve the issue. Since I'm not a mind reader, I am going to give you all the benefit of the doubt and presume that that wasn't the intent of the post. Being that, as someone has alredy mentioned, this is a support site. :!
