    A number of posters (11), repartee, humour, poetry, compliments, some UP thumbs....
    So do you put a lot of weight into the thumbs up or down?

    Ideas please?
    Firstly, define what a “successful thread” is.

    Not really though it shows that someone has read the post.

    Hmm, that’s tricky.
    One that gives a sense of achievement. 🙂

    LOL...I guess lots of people read my posts if you are going by the thumbs up/down as a successful thread. 😉

    Make that 12, I don't know about humour, but here's a limerick, (which might count as poetry??)

    There was a young man from Calcutta
    Who sat in a bath full of butter
    He could make it sound sane
    When he tried to explain
    But he's really a bit of a nutter.

    (I've just been to India)

    I think you are a very nice person, and I just thumbed - up your post, which I believe fulfills most of the criteria. Anyway it's a good thread, friends having a chat about nothing in particular, which are in my opinion the very best kind of threads.

    I for one enjoyed your journal about your trip, interesting and learned some things at the same time.

    Consider it done, the achievement, that is.

    Yes, to the everlasting disappointment of us all. You've probably wasted more people's time than anyone, anywhere.

    I'm glad you enjoyed the 'India' thread. I never thumb anyone down, if I disagree with something I try to respond, sometimes more successfully than others!
    I'm feeling annoyingly positive this morning, must just pop off and get depressed about something....

    LOL....Just stay in a good mood. I am always in a good mood, well at least 99% of the time. I did indeed enjoy your up dates from you India trip. When it comes to thumbs down I would sooner say something if I am going to give one it is to show my disagreement with the poster, but I will as a rule also say something in writing which doesn't go over well as some people don't like to hear the truth or hear someone else's opinion.

    Seems reasonable; in that case I’d say it was a sense of team achievement and that would be measured by the number of posts divided by the number of posters. The smaller the number the more successful the thread.
