Situations like that bother me.
That bothers me too. I post quite a lot of pictures on PT of my girls, but I would never expect anyone to reply to the thread. I'm quite happy to see the number of views, and it is nice to see people reply. I enjoy seeing pictures of other people's pets too, and try to visit dog and cat general to see pics in there instead of staying in pet general all the time. I usually reply, not necessarily with a huge amount of text, but just a line or two to let the person know how cute their pet is. I also feel the need to post a thankyou when someone replies on a thread I have started, I feel it's only common courtesy.

I have seen some instances of people who post a thread, then hang for ages about on 'Who's online' to see who's checking up on their thread (gah, I must be sad to check up on that kind of thing ). Of course, it is a fact that people who have been here longer get more replies generally than newbies, but people have to learn to take the time to get to know everyone and take the fact that not everyone can reply straight away for granted.
