No. I don't see the point - unless it would be for appearances of some sort - which would be a bit crazy.
If I don't get answers it's because I fail to correctly gauge the atmosphere, the needs of the people who choose to come here. And I do fail often enough. I've removed my questions that got no answers - and felt somewhat discouraged from asking.
I suffer on a predominantly American site, I think, from not being an American. It's just impossible for me to see things from the same point of view - even though I listen as hard as I can, and do my best to try to understand. I remain the perpetual outsider.
I think if it were an English site, I'd feel much more comfortable, be far more embraced and welcomed. I was born in England, did my undergraduate years there, still have English friends, love English novels, cultures, intellectuals - most things English except the weather and football. But my family were Australian, so it was here to the sunny skies and warmth that I returned - mired in a world of Strine. This is the perpetual problem of the dual citizen who straddles two or more worlds, unable to stand solidly in only one.
I'm sure English social sites must exist, but none of my searches to find one has succeeded. I imagine this is because my search engine, Google, is designed to prioritise American culture and commerce with an infinite feedback loop. I don't have sufficient geek skills to find my way. Don't get me wrong. I like answerMug - a lot - wouldn't keep returning if I didn't. It's amazing and mesmerizing to get glimpses into America below the surfaces of news media, television and films. I find it helps me better understand America's influence on the rest of the world.
I just don't like the feeling of being a misfit. It's not a simple matter because really I'm a misfit in most places, except among fellow writers.
A thousand thanks - It is very, very nice to feel valued and appreciated. I may disappear when there are high demands (from real life, not social sites) on my time, but I promise to return like a boomerang.
:) :) You are more than welcome and boomerangs are Awesome!!! I've never had the opportunity to throw one (not that I would like to throw you :)) but I would love to learn how. Big Winks and Smiles!
The popularity of any one of my questions rests soley on how bored my audience is. If there are many and they are bored enough, VOILA! Success and luck
I work in the reverse. There are smart-as**s on this website. So, I choose another website to answer my more serious questions to avoid that little annoyance.
