Again, I think the biggest thing to remember is that you can't please everyone. I think there are a lot of people would rather know that someone read their question and thought about it and told them that they don't know how to help, as opposed to seeing 30 views and one reply. I'm not disagreeing with you, Vela, just pointing out that it can be very confusing to someone on what's the proper thing to do. And, I think in some cases, there isn't always one right answer. It just depends on the poster as to what they like to see.

Well this is true, I mean it more in the context of what Jessica said, that someone who posts generic responses to everyone's threads, really seems like they don't really care, they respond to all the threads the same pretty much and often say things to the point that you can even tell they didn't read it. I'm not saying NEVER post things like that...it's the megaposters who do it generically that don't seem to really care what is going on with that poster. There are always exceptions to every "rule" or situation.
