I never think it is "seeing my name" that stops people... I always think it is because all of my posts are too long and rambling, so people loose interest and click out of the thread.

I don't worry about stopping "ER" threads because I think in those cases even if my post is too long or too interesting, people usually will respond to the original post asking for advice or support and just ignore mine.

Just a note... none of us seems to have managed to kill this thread yet...
