Most personally convincing reasons you don't believe.

[emjay]

Hi guys. After yesterday's unpleasantness I just wanted to make it clear to anyone who's sensitive to this sort of thing that I don't believe my kudos or attention in this thread is any more important than anyone else's. I have exactly the same right as anyone else to kudos what I want and reply to what I want but being in the slightly uncomfortable position of the OP... the one who asked the original question... I can understand how someone so inclined could get the impression that I think I'm more important than anyone else. But there's nothing I can do about that - that's just an unfortunate dynamic of being the OP; just the same as everyone else I'll respond selectively to whatever appeals to me personally in line with my intentions for posting in the thread, which in this case - because I'm the OP - happens to be the question I asked to start the thread, but that doesn't mean I think I own the thread or have any special importance or privileges over the direction it takes. I don't... nobody does... a thread belongs to everyone from the moment of its inception. I just asked a question, and that's my stated purpose for being here, but everyone has a purpose for responding to a thread and the OP is just the first purpose as it were... where the thread goes is up to everyone who posts in it.
