Well there's a certain amount of attention EVERYONE wants just by being on a forum or why would we even bother posting? I mean posting somewhere you don't expect any response to would not only be silly but pointless. Even a blog with post comments turned off is for people to read and to affect another person in some way so the whole attention seeking subject itself is ludicrous. Thing is if you are human, you want some sort of attention from somewhere at some point in your day. period. Relax
