I recently realized that I hadn’t been getting notifications on my Humor Outcast comments, so I apologize for not answering. Finding out didn’t upset me at all–in fact, it was a relief. After all, it could be no one replied because I was boring and/or repetitive, which would have made me feel like a humor … outcast.
But then I realized something … just because I didn’t get notifications doesn’t prove I’m not boring.
I’m a glass half empty kind of guy.
Not sure if anyone takes me serious and I have nobody to blame for that but myself but not everyone responds to all comments. If you missed responding to a few, you were cool enough to let the good people know why. If someone is gracious enough to leave a comment, you can be damn sure I’m going to respond to that comment as a small way of saying thanks. I don’t care how popular some people are in the comments section, if someone gives of their free time and drops you a few words, have a bit of decency and respond to them.
Now, sorry Mark – rant over. Jill Y tells me that the color yellow goes with certain things but I’d be lying if I said I was paying attention!
I’m with you–it’s easy to read something and just pass on, or not read it at all, but it takes an effort to make a comment. That’s why I was kind of upset when I realized a few people had commented on my post before this one, but I didn’t catch it until the reply window had closed.
This time, I got your comment notification! It seems to be coming and going, now.
You do realize it’s HumorOutcasts – plural and one word. Maybe that’s why no notifications, they can’t find you ? 🙂
Oh, sure, it’s my fault just because I do it wrong! 🙂
Actually, I really don’t recall making any changes … and I yesterday I couldn’t even figure out how to make changes in the settings. This is further evidence of my ongoing theory that some very smart computer somewhere is messing with me.
I just got almost 100 notifications–all at once. Something tells me the problem fixed itself!
Doesn’t bright yellow signify “Caution!”?
(I ask this cautiously.)
All I know is, my wife made me give it away and get something that made me less obvious. Or … less safe? Come to think of it, that was right after I got life insurance.
