[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 159046"] I think it makes sense that most folks just come on sporadically during the day. There are too many posts here to reply to all of them, most of them or even many of them. So, one picks and choses...usually based on a topic that resonates. You might have experience or knowledge in an area. I too have had a recent post or two with little or no response. If viewers see that, it might be nice to make a special effort to respond to a lone post if you can think of an appropriate response. I think this is a nice place to get support and it is very nice when responses are kind and/or helpful. It's also healthy to thank people who have offered unusually good advice. Personally, I don't expect folks to remember my story...but of course it is heartwarming when they do. I also think it is fine when people move on and also fine if they chose to stay. Everyone is an individual and we all have our own support systems or lack of systems. I think the key word(s) to look for and think about is "help" and "helpful." Can posting here get you some help and when you respond are you being potentially helpful? This is what I think the bottom line should be. [/QUOTE]
