Am I a little sensitive today or......

[Karen]

I think with the various crisis threads that have been happening lately, and folks getting back to school, things have been a bit quieter. But we have good news in that SLick's surgery went well, Kiara is home, and Donna, who would normally probably be posting in your threads, is getting help for herself. All these are good things, but do distract us from other threads.

But we love your threads, even if we don't always post in them!

I've noticed it too Jen. I thought long and hard before I took the time to post the pictures of my cats in two threads last night because I didn't want to get my feelings hurt if there weren't many replies.

I guess everyone is just busy, seems to be the common response. I'll try not to take it personally.

Iknow i have a hard time keeping up with the threads I want to keep up on becouse of all the pointless threads on lately. I am kind of glad it's slowwed (kids in school) I can spend time reading the threads that have meaning to me. But most of the time all I want to say has been said before,I get there.

Nothing wrong with your threads I noticed the same.

I am connected to PT from my work most of the time. I read the threads but I reply only when I really want to say something (useful). And if ten persons have already said the same I don't reply.

I agree to that, Jen! It is getting slower on PT sometimes; but that is mostly during weekends...
I also agree with Randi that some people are "overposting" and create new threads without looking if there has been one about that item before . Sometimes it is fun to see an old thread re-opened

I've also been reading much more than posting. I don't have access to a computer at work so everything is done at home. Some times I don't get on PT until late at night and I also try some in the morning before work. I try to keep up but I can't read and post to every thread. I'm sorry if your therads haven't been getting the number of posts that you're used to.

We are now over 10.000 members here, don't know if that's good or bad - well, of course it's nice that PT is such a popular community. Not sure how many are active, but years ago when I joined, we were about 3.000 members and it seemed that almost everyone knew each other. It was more like a family.

I doubt any of us can keep up these days, and I don't even want to try. I have to be selective, so I go for the posts that have some substance or is about cats.

I usually look at each and every thread, but I don't always post. I was posting a lot for a while, but I can't any more. I usually look at work, and I have some nosy co-workers who think I am looking at "kitty-porn"! I swear, that is what he told my boss (who thought she heard him say "kiddy porn"!!!!! and she couldn't imagine my doing something like that!) Understand that my boss has no problem in my looking at PT during breaks and lunch.... I just don't post as often, unless I stay late and then I have the chance more freely!

But I do look, and I do care... I just have to be a little more cautious!

By the way, this is a HUGE joke now between me and my boss! We laugh about it all the time!
