Was about to answer the billionaires one, realized there are better ways to spend this limited beautiful moment of life than being virtually shouted at.

How about you?

    It happens all the time, but it’s usually because I realize that either:

    • I’m not as invested or informed on the topic as I thought I was and just don’t have anything meaningful to contribute
    • whatever joke I was writing up didn’t sound as funny to me after I actually wrote it out
    • it took too long to write, did some basic research and realized I didn’t know what I was talking about
    • it took too long to write, I got distracted by something, and by the time I got back to it I had stopped caring
    • something happens to the post I was responding to or my connection, page resets/refreshes and I’ve lost whatever the thing was midway through, I’m not typing all that again
    • realize I’m going to say something not very PC and I know the exact responses I’ll get, “Nah, I don’t care enough about this.”

      Ha, I have a similar process. I use Connect as my app which has a feature for user notes, so if I’ve tagged someone with a good note, I try to respond and vice versa.
