I think it's important to remember (Karen, please correct me if I'm wrong) there are folks who visit PT that have never registered and therefore can't post a reply, comment, or question. That could be either because they don't know they can sign up or for their own personal reasons choose not to.Since signing on, I've learned a lot about cats and that's a good thing for my Groucho. Even so, there's still so much I don't know that in some instances a response is simply inappropriate. We also have the issue of not only time but priorities. There's only one computer in our house. My son works full time and is putting himself through college at night. It's understood that when it comes time for his classwork he gets the computer, that's MY first priority. To me, his education comes over and above anything and everything else. My job is a pressure cooker on a slow day (and we don't get many of those) so I come to PT to relax and wind down. We come here because of a common interest, our love for our cats and our love for all animals. Let's try to understand that the demands of day-to-day life don't always allow us the free time we want to do things we'd rather do like respond to each and every PT post.
