Hi Perry
Do you think that maybe sometimes that could actually be seen as a credit to you?

It might be that you've said just what some other people are thinking so they don't feel they need to follow on- they've connected with what you said, it might be that you've put an idea into someone's head meaning they don't need to say what they were going to, it might be that some people think that you've replied much more succinctly than they ever could, it might be some people just respect what you've said and don't feel the need to add to it..........
So many positive reasons that could happen for, with many reasons you may well deserve kudos on ending a thread
