Heh, I have been here for years, and it happens to me all the time. The mere fact that your first post didn't die shows how wrong your fear is.
Whats worse is when you think you make the killer post that is an amazing revelation to you, or a piece of inspired and masterful writing, and it gets
ignored, and the thread carries on as if you didn't exist

its internet existential angst
... rats I may have killed the thread now
