I love to post a thread and then just completely abandon it
Not responding to anyone but watching its progress. Is this poor threadiquette? Like if I posted a thread titled "Too bad there isn't a personality bustier," should I carefully respond to everyone, leave out those whose responses displease me, reply randomly, or let the thread die without further input from me?

2. You should reply to posts which interest you...
Forums are a means of interactive communication after all.

I don't like abandoned threads.

4. Sometimes, I feel that the thread is going well without me
I always read all the responses to my threads even if I don't respond. It seems that most people here do expect the original poster to respond to the thread though.
Sometimes, I am not sure which posts to respond to either especially if several of them said similiar things.

5. I actually do that fairly often.
I'm afraid that if I take to time to respond to everybody, people will think that I'm whoring my own thread for attention.

12. I'm trying to imagine how you'd look in a personality bustier.
Lace or leather?
