I don't think I've ever seen any of your posts- I'm on the cat side. I've started threads only a very few times and got only one or two responses but I don't take it personal! It just means no one had anything to say! There are plenty of threads i do respond to and when I see a post that strikes a personal note in me, I pm them! I don't expect to get a response, just letting them know they struck me somehow! I'm not here looking for friends though. I have friends. This is a computer. Pet talk is a great resource for getting and recieving advise on pets, sharing funny pet stories, and sharing personal info- when one chooses! (Political stances, etc). I'm happy just to watch kitty videos and pictures! Why would you want more than to talk about pets on a website called pettalk? I mean, why would you feel you should have made a personal friend on this website!? I haven't (well there is one person that i pm now and then to ask her how she is doing because we have the same stance on cat care)! I have a friend that I turned on to this website so she's around but I didn't make friends with her through pet talk.
