I hardly ever look at picture threads. I don't have time, for one thing. My computer is old and slow.

For another thing ... and gosh, I KNOW this is going to sound rude, I'm sorry in advance ... but I don't necesarily want to look at the same dogs or cats over and over and over and over again. I mean, I like to look at everyone's pet a couple of times, it's interesting to see what types of pets everyone owns and make the connection between the pet and the person. But looking at the same dog in a slightly different pose or in a different costume or whatever several times a week is just not for me. (And, BTW, I have absolutely NO ONE in particular in mind when saying this, so NO ONE better take it personally and be offended.)

I guess I'm just not that into pictures. I have some pictures of my dogs on the computer, but not many and I rarely take new ones. I can't even find the camera, actually.

If I do take the time to open a picture thread, I usually comment though, because it's a subject that caught my attention and interests me. I rarely post pictures, either. And I NEVER open the threads that say, "89 pictures" in the title. I appreciate the warning, though, because my computer would take FOREVER to open that.

I guess, not really being a picture person, I don't really understand what the big deal is. You post a picture; maybe someone comments, maybe they don't. You see a picture; maybe you comment, maybe you don't. Same with regular posts ... sometimes you make a post that generates pages and pages of responses. Sometimes you get one or two. It's not a big deal either way, as far as I can see.
