starting threads about yourself is the definition of seeking attention.
So is virtually every single social interaction if you wanna get technical.
Facts are facts, I got about 10 different accounts on other message boards, and none of them are about me. I read this site for years without having an account, and even when I do have active accounts large portions of those times have almost no threads about me.
That of course is ignoring the fact, that I don't even like leaving the house during teh day.
