How do you define "AW" here?

I don't think a frequent poster is necessarily an attention whore. ?I consider someone an "attention whore" when they are clearly posting just so people will pay attention to them--no question, vent or anything important to share, just random hypotheticals or npr-related thoughts in an attempt to draw attention to herself and/or stir the pot.

just clarifying b/c some frequent posters thought my PABST might be about them, and it definitely was not. :-)

    There is a huge difference between an AW and PW.  Both can be equally annoying, but the AW you speak of has been crazy over the top of late.  Ugh.

    Purposely posting for attention. (normal amounts okay, PWing AWs are different) eta: as in posting all.the.time about you, DC, yh, job, etc.

    no, Kevs, that's parenting related ?stuff---it's mom stuff. it's not "tell me what you think of me" type stuff.

    Exactly.  Kevs, I never see you screaming out for validation.  (Which is a good thing.)

    AW is posts about yourself and wanting attention for it.  For example I aw'd yesterday about my bulbous thigh fat. 

    PWs I really don't mind because at least it gives us stuff to read!  Especially when it is slow.as.hell.

    I think I would define AW as people who would post stuff like "I'm 2 DPO should I test?" And then its followed by 10 million questions about being pg.

    Ditto this!

    I think all regular posters are AWs/PWs to some extent or we wouldn't be regular posters on a message board. LOL.  I think all of it in moderation is fine.

    Posts by Sarah = AWing. I've never seen a post by you that wasn't AWing even when pretending not to.

    Then again most posts are AWing, otherwise they would stay in our heads.

    I don't care, I have no problem AWing at all. So what? If it irks you it must be worth doing :-)
