Why? Cause I like you. I like your style, the way you don't whine all over the place about who does or does not respond to your post, cause you are 'mature', like me (and, I am not meaning others are immature), and best of all, why would I respond to you, and maybe not others? Cause it is my God given right. Sheesh...kind of like trying to make another kid play with you in the sandbox, you just can't force it.

Seriously, and maybe a bit more gently said: many of us have taken yearS to get to know one another, have built up a relationship over losses, gains, grieving, and joy. We 'know' one another. For someone to suggest, insist or imply that we all have to be "insta-friends", by responding to what might be portrayed as runonposters is a bit insulting.

Who likes whom, who has more posts than someone else, or who replies more/less/too much to others is really pretty much like high school (and maybe junior high) behaviour, something I am quite proud to admit is WAY in my distant past.

Who. Really. Cares.

And, look at it this way. You have now had plenty of people respond to one of your threads, posted in at least two places that I am aware of. Now EVERYONE knows you. Infamy at its best, eh?
It sure is wonderful to have things taken completely out of context and the opposite of the way you intended.

I am not assuming or insinuating anything. I understand that friendships take time to build. ALL I AM SAYING is that I am putting out the effort to build a friendship and (before this post and the *kind* replies that some folks showed they *do* care) nobody seemed to want to build with me.

I. Am. Not. Complaining. About. Posts. Amounts. Or. Views. I. Was. Using. That. As. An. Example. For. Something. Wah.

It's a matter of trying and having nothing to show for your efforts. But, thanks to the positive PTers, I am feeling more optimistic and realizing that I do have some things to show for my effort.
