just a question

There are a few members that just post pics of their pups but never comment on anyone else's or otherwise get involved in pettalk.

I just think that is kind of strange so I stay away from those usually, how does everyone else feel?

I comment, and try to draw them out.

Maybe some are shy? I don't know I am usually one who doesn't post a lot of pictures hehe maybe they just like showing off their pets? Can't say I blame them hehe

I notice that too.
Some people are NEVER on pt unless its to post pictures of thier dogs.

I dont reply to everyones picture thread(in fact I rarley do)
But I always reply on other things and rarley post pictures anyways.

Yeah, I notice that as well. Sometimes I find it rude, too, depending on who it is and how they are.

I try to comment on people's posts if I want to post pictures of my own dogs.

I see it like this:

If you want comments on your pictures, you have to comment on others pictures.

I agree, I beleive you get out of it what you put in, if you want people to care about you and your dogs they have to get to know you. If someone doesn't ever post to anyone else's threads or pics, I don't think they have a right to get mad if people don't post to theirs.

II often dont reply unless I have something specific to say, I usually think "What would I like to hear" I know that I like to actually READ posts, I know that I dont like it when the only reply I get is a smily face or "awww" because thats doesnt interest me, I like responses that actually say something , so I tend to look at other peoples pictures and only respond if I have something to say that the poster can actually read. posting only a smiley or one word feels really rude, as if the person couldent be bothered, I know thats not always the case but that is how I feel about it, so unless I have something important or more meaty to say, I dont reply.
