Nah, it doesn't bother me. I do read more than I reply...for a lot of reasons, most of which have been listed already in this thread. One reason I have that I haven't really seen in here, yet...is that I try really hard to live by what I dub the "bambi rule"...if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Sometimes I read threads that I know I'm going to disagree with or just not like what's being said or whatever. And, for the most part, I just don't get involved in those, unless it's a mature debate. I do, like a lot of human beings, have a bit of a curiosity for things like that, so, I read...but, I don't usually waste my energy in replying. I wouldn't take it personally, but, understand when people do.
