hm... As far as replies go, I definitely feel for people who get hardly any replies and it hurts them. But I think the best thing to do is expect little or nothing, and you will always be pleasantly suprised to get comments thats how I feel about it.

I've noticed PT is soooo different from 1 year ago, in that there can be 50 posts on Dog General in ONE day! ~_~ its crazy... I usually just look at all of the threads and enjoy them,and reply when I reallyreally enjoy them or I have something profound to say (which is not often).
