Hi Sleeps,

I did re-read the quote. I think what I meant to say was that I *do* genuinely care when I post. I really have no expectations that the person will reply to me when I post. I just want them to read my reply and feel a little bit better. I'm not saying that there is not an element of selfishness here...when I decide to post to others, I also do it because I want to make my bad feelings go away...posting to others occupies my mind for a while and distracts me away from my bad feelings. I also post because I want people to have a more favourable impression of me. I worry that some people might not like me very much.
