I didn't mean it that way. I suppose I meant, "look at me" in the sense that you're posting on a message board and thus are hoping someone, in fact, looks at what you wrote. That's true of every message board post, so every post could be translated as "look at me. X. . . " where X is the content. Perhaps, then, the "look at me" part was unnecessary. I didn't mean it negatively.
That said, the question is still there. And if it's a dumb question, that's fine. You can say so. As I said, I'm just curious. Also, I'm under no illusion that it's specific to this board. Probably lots of boards have threads like this.
