Getting read

oops, i thought this topic was called "getting laid". so much for the opportunity to brush up on my swordsmanship skills.

Obtuse is right! Now if you'd said you thought the topic was 'getting paid'...

Who's getting paid? All I get is coffee and no cream! As for people reading my work...they never do! Uncultured snobs! Don't they know genius when it presents itself?

Obviously not... Perhaps if you revealed yourself?

That's enough of that Andrea, arguing I can take, flashers I can't! Unless of course they're female!

I want to read more! If you would like wonderful meee to read your stuff, then tell me your username and get yourself an ABC email addy so I can critique away like mad!!

I can see this isn't a heated debate, thankfully, but is it alright if I say a few words? (He says putting his hand up and trying to attract teachers attention). I did discuss this topic with another user and we came to the conclusion that people who use the discussion boards regularly seem to attract more readers than those that don't. I suspect that there are a lot of people that read the boards and don't actually join in the discussions. Some of these will undoubtedly follow threads then think to themselves, 'What kind of stuff do these opinionated people actually write?' So perhaps extra 'reads' may be an incentive for more people to join in the scrum! I add that I post purely because I am more of a debater than a writer, but then you know that don't you?

Yep, we sure do! And, what's more, I think you're right, too. Have a slight quibble with 'these opinionated people' though... (Was a joke, Missus, a joke)

Looking a little crestfallen...... I'm not used to such wholehearted agreement! Am I losing my touch?

It's all good advice, but how do you get red 1300 times? I can only imagine someone paying their mates to click click click the night away....they are good stories..but 1300 times? It's amazing....

I'll have you know my mates do it for free...!
