Posting skills confession
 

My name is Jeff and I'm a bad poster. I don't know if it's because I'm not interesting, I come off as a dumbass or because there are some fundamental things that I am doing wrong. Maybe people don't like me? In real life I'm a very likable person. What am I missing? For you successful posters, does it come naturally, or did you develope posting skills as you went along? Flame away. If there is some constructive criticism I all eyes.

How different, if at all, is your online persona from your 'real world' persona?

You're just not up to par.

Play to your skills. I find that dumbassery is my forte'.

I must disagree with the premise of your thread starter, Mr. bogie. Personally, I enjoy your posts. I really liked your post about the orange juice factory, for example.

If you're really concerned though, here's a tip. Sit back in your chair, close your eyes and relax your mind and body. Then, when you're completely at ease and your mind has quieted, visualize yourself with chicken soup noodles stuck to your back and coasting down a mountain in an apricot BMW in search of a rock store. Pretend in your mind that you're really there. Feel the heat of the noodles ... the satisfaction of driving such a remarkable automobile ... the anticipation of finding good rocks. Then, when you're ready, post. I think that will work.

How does one judge a successful post?

....HAH!..so that's how you do it. ROFL

i have no advice for you just about everyone on here hates me or ignores me in time you will 2

It just comes naturally.

At least it does for FAX.

I'll make you a site admin too. Just don't talk about Morph's Peter anymore...

Does it help to wear orange pants while visualizing this?
