How when you make a post there like 100 views and only like 5-10 replies?
I mean fi your going to look you might aswell reply.

No it doesn't bother me. Not everyone has all day to reply to each and every thread.

No it doesn't really bother me. I don't often look at how many views the threads get. I'll quite often read a thread and although the post is quite funny or has adorable pictures, or whatever; I really can't think of anything to say. After a while you feel a bit of a fraud saying "beautiful pictures" all the time - even though you honestly mean it. Also, unless you are quite early into a thread, the chances are that someone else has already said what you were going to. If you don't take the time to think of a reply to that thread, then you have more time to perhaps read a couple of threads that you wouldn't have got to otherwise.

I view lots of threads that I find interesting and I care about. There isn't any one person on here that I don't find interesting or care about what they say, I just get lazy I guess and don't post to everything I look at.

Sometimes it does hurt my feeling but then I think that I do the same thing so I don't get upset.

If I replied to every post that I found interesting/funny/great/etc I'd never do any work.....................oh hang on.....I don't!

It really does not bother me too much, i have an active thread, which has 100 views and 7 replies at least three of those being mine, but as it is for donations to help a sick kitty, i understand not replying if you unable to contribute so it is perfectly fine with me, but i guess some people find it fustrating, me i go with the flow.

Nope. Doesn't bother me. What slick said.

Many, many more people read a thread than reply. Why? Maybe it is because they have limited time to view Pet Talk. Maybe it is because they cannot think of anything to say that hasn't already been said. Maybe it is because they do not know how to say what they feel. Maybe, in a few cases, it is because they are mindful of what Grandma said, "If you cannot say anything nice, say nothing at all."

Prayer request threads I always read, then include that person in my prayers, even if I do not always post that I am doing so.

Well said Karen!

It doesn't bother me one bit. I'd rather have 10000 views & 2 replies than no views at all. It's the thought that counts.

What Ally Cat's Mommy said!

I try to read every single post in cat memorial, and post a kind word or two.

**cloverfdx** · 02-03-2006, 10:06 AM

Alot of the time threads are not worth replying to.

**Roxyluvsme13** · 02-03-2006, 10:18 AM

I read threads alot of times and dont reply, as I cant think of anything to say usually. It does kinda hurt my feelings too but I do the same thing, so I can understand!

**Ally Cat's Mommy** · 02-03-2006, 10:26 AM

I don't have as much time as I used to online, so I do reply to fewer threads, although I at least try to look at them, to keep up to date with what's happening.

**CathyBogart** · 02-03-2006, 12:57 PM

Nope, doesn't bother me. I don't take the time to reply to every thread that I read, and I don't expect anyone else to either.

**JenBKR** · 02-03-2006, 01:13 PM

Doesn't bother me either - I come in here various times throughout the day when I'm at work and pop into a few threads - I like to look at everyone pics, read prayer requests, etc. but don't have time to reply. I often keep my user control panel open, and pop in and refresh every once in a while while I'm working. Sometimes my boss actually wants me to work
