And on a lighter note...

Obviously, this is not an earthshattering question, especially with all the very serious upsetting news the last couple of days.

But...I've been wondering if most people rec their own threads. I've noticed it more lately, both from posters I agree with and not, so this is not any kind of a call-out.

Maybe I'm old-school, but I would never rec my own thread, as delightful and creative as most of them are.

What about you?

I just don't see the point. Just my writing the post already comes with my endorsement.

It's nice to get recs, sure, but let's be honest, they aren't "all that".

Zombie movies are the highest good, and are above the petty concepts of individuals, therefore, recing your own zombie movie thread isn't an act of vanity or self promotion, but rather an acknowledgement of what is right and just in the universe.

If it gets to six, I'll unrec, if I remember.

I'll also post a "shameless self-kick" for similar reasons.
