I do a lot of reading here.....there is NO way I can even read every post let alone answer 50 % of them! I would be here all day long!! I read what sounds interesting to me, and I respond when needed (look at how many posts I have - not many!! I think I've been on PT for 2+ years, and Im not even close to some people that have thousands of posts. If I make it to 1000 by the end of this year, I will be surprised )

I usually eat lunch over PT and therefore do not have the time to spend here like I would.

Don't take offense, don't get mad, actually don't worry about it!! Don't let the little things get to you in life, there are a LOT more things to worry about than people responding to your threads!! lol
Just have some fun!
Well, then maybe some shouldn't purposefully try to offend.

I'm *just* venting. So, what types of venting is allowed?

It's NOT about the posts themselves or the views, though. It is about trying to be a part of something, trying to make friends, and then making posts that *need* some sort of reply and then get nothing (and then someone else can post the exact same type of post and get the answers *they* need).

It is about feeling that the community that you are trying hard to be apart of doesn't give two hoots about you, your pets, or your situation.
