Well I know JaneyCanuck is not happy today !! Harper not only won but got a majority government.

Only momentarily suicidal. The moment hasn't quite passed yet ...

Good one, C.

Big weirdness here, for sure. I'm not quite ready to talk about it. ;)

Heh heh. Interesting stats from the new system.

Proof that my name in the first line of a post will get views!

Only 6 posts in it when I first looked ... but 124 thread views. Best ratio on the board, I think!


Oh, all right, maybe it's the word "Canadians" in the subject line ... or C's name as author ...

Or maybe it was the time of night and there was nothing else to read. ;)

yep


I noticed that there is a strange correlation between thread views and posts


Look at Ginny's thread .............. views in 4 figures, posts in 5 figures

Okay sorry I wasn't on the chat board yesterday.
So JC I'm guessing my name as author is not dragging them all in as you quite rightly pointed out it was very low numbers to start with...it has to be you =0)
The question should be IF that many people are viewing it why aren't more replying, and it's not just my thread it's others too before you say it's me being boring. Maybe they're lucky and they have no idea who Harper is.......okay he is so exciting he is giving a set of hiking gear to William and Catherine for their wedding......says it all.

Hi Sue


well, we both do help people a lot, in the middle of the night :)

some nights, I think we both could have done 40 or 50 posts

and I, for one, have been doing that since 2004

I think one can't resist a small peek to see what upset Janey. You wont always get a view from me Janey, but Janey and upset in the same sentence was way too enticing. LOL

Great advertising on C's part - put that person in Marketing...

Persie :-)

JaneyCanuck Report 7 May 2011 10:04

That was my figuring, Persephone. ;) How could one resist a thread about JC being upset??

Reminds me of someone once telling me about how to write a bestseller.

Call it "Golf for Dogs" and put a swastika on the cover, and you'll hit all the book-buying demographics! (I hasten to add that they meant WWII afficionados, and not Nazis.)

You know the only other post count I have actually checked was Sylvia's, and I found it comfortingly close to mine. ;)

They taught me how to touchtype when I was eleven. Little did they know ...

I am not into curtain twitching - I open the curtains and the window and let you know.... course with my luck it is likely to be an old sash window and the sash breaks and the window comes down on my head.

I ran a secondhand book shop for nine years so know all about what sells Got to know my customers and their tastes, put books in their hands by similar authors and 8/10 would be a sale.

Oh and my commiserations over the elections.... :-(
