Dose this bother anyone else?

A lot of time, I'm reading threads but can't reply for various reasons. One is Abby is on my lap and she might get disturbed if I type (can't disturb a sleeping princess ya now! ) I also might not reply because I only have a minute to pop in to take a quick look and then pop back out. Sometimes it takes as much as ten minutes to thoroughly read a thread and write up a reply, especially if its a thread where someone is asking for help. I do try to reply to threads asking for help when I know a possible way to help, but lately I'm so darned busy that I am not repsonding to anything.

come on, I've been hearing how people are thankful for making friends here - getting posts and became friends, how else? bondship often comes from posts.

I don't compare with views, you wonder&know when you don't get some help or appreciation. for replies, depends on thread its about, prayers, important question or new addition, yes, bothers me - not just in mine - others too. I even bother to post the zero reply thread first, because I've noticed many wouldn't think it's worth to reply to blurry pictures, lack of english, 'stupid' question(s) to them or are new here, etc. - the starter should feel welcomed to the community as well.

50+ posts in a worthless, off-topic thread bothers me too.

I don't blame for some people who can't post everywhere everytime but look at how large pet talk is, (how big number of posts could be) I see it just depends on how ...... people are. unforunately, how they can be, should bother you. they could too post, only a few seconds to spare if the person truly cares, and for others to know too.

I've seen most pattern here, people who has been around a lot, only post in their threads or only in their favorite people's. no, it's not the point of this thread but it is how it is or why, why it bothers me for some.

anyway, to answer, I am certainly satifised with 'fuels' I've been getting (not bothered) that had kept me going. there was some silly threads I made I don't expect a lot of replies but views? of course.

pitc, take by heart? maybe - I don't think it's bad to be sensitive - you like to share! I don't see why I should spend my time sharing appreciations if they can't either.
