So Where are the Other 18,073 Members?

[pamha]

Most of you don`t know me, but I consider myself sort of regular cause I read at least some of the new posts most days. I just don`t post much, usually only when I have a question or might have experience with something someone else asks about. I do find ya`ll entertaining too

I have to admit that I have spurts where I post a lot and then spurts where I don't even remember to turn on my computer. And sometimes I will check to see what was posted, but I don't often have anything to say.

And on several occasions I have thought about threads I could start, only to forget entirely what I was going to say by the time I get to a computer (and if this is what my memory is like at 25, I don't want to know what it is like in 10 years!!!)

And I think if we only reach 10% of the people who ask the breeding-related or the "really should be at the emergency vets right now" questions and change their opinion towards the value of their pets than that's 10% who wouldn't think differently if all of you wonderful people wern't here. of course that could just be really naive of me, but I have to think that some of what is said sinks in...

I post here more than I should prolly. hehe I read a lot of the general forum and stuff, but dont' post there regularly. There are more educated people than I out there. I like the picture thread and the off topic stuff the best. I think that's where the social aspect of this board comes into play and you get to know people and their animals on a different level than say the emergency thread. Anyway, I love this place and I am addicted. I do call it my "dog forum" though even though I have different animals. <sorry otis> And I talk about my animals waaay too much at work. There is another lady with 3 dogs and she never mentions them unless I ask. :sad:

Hi rainbow I noticed that you don't post as much and just felt like telling you I noticed. It's interesting how some of the members leave such an impression. I've even had weird dreams almost as if I know some of the regulars. Like I saw technodoll at a nightclub once, very wierd. And I feel like I know Prin's Jemma because of some stories she's told about her. I also go through phases of more or less posting depending on how things are going in my life.

One thing that really bugs me is that sometimes I try to help a new member and i'll look up a bunch of information and be all concerned and then they never come back or don't even respond. I kind of live for those thank you that really helped or okay i'll look into that. It seems like a lot of people just come for a quick fix answer or to hear what they want to hear.

I'm here too! I rarely post much anymore - just pop in to check what's goin' on and that's about it! I don't have the luxury job that I had before where I could be on here all day long!! I actually have to work now - and no browsing computers in a factory! The rest of my time is spent catering to my babies and I just don't have the time like I used to!

I think about you all though!!!

I'm one of those lurkers who usually doesn't have much to say. I post once in a while, but I'm usually so busy reading and going off on or following tangents I lose track of the original post & thought. I have to admit I first signed up for the valuable information, but the entertainment factor took over almost right away.

I come on this forum every single day, in the morning with my coffee, and at night! I am addicted, even tho I rarely write anything, my brain is always learning something new! I love it!

Thanks for making this forum a fun place to learn and share feelings!
