| Read more than I post..... Alright, does anyone else have this problem? I have to read every response to every thread before I post. Of course, this eats up all my computer time and I don't get to post that much, so it's taking me forever to hit 500 posts! I try not to, I try to just read the original and reply - BUT I CAN'T do it! How do you post without reading every single response? I read pretty fast too, but 2 hours of computer time and about 4 or 5 posts, at that rate it will take me months to reach 500. Any tips would be appreciated! Windy and Lida Rose |

| No real tips, I just mainly scroll down through everything and read what looks interesting. I hit 500 and didn't even know it. LOL. Now I am trying to hit 1000 and if i keep up this rate i will do it in no time. LOL |

| I read the original. On my Options, I have chosen Instant Email Notification. This way, I get the responses in the email. I can read through them, and respond if needed.

This is what makes this forum so awesome, is we all care about what everybody else has to say too. Enjoy all the posts and it will happen, your posts will grow. There is never a rush! I have learned so much by sitting back, reading everyone's posts and then reply. I am thankful for everyone's posts!

Donating YT 14K Club Member | I read the main thread and skim through the replies. In high school, I took an advanced reading course that taught you to pick up the main words. Funny, I can skim through something very fast and by picking up a few words know what the subject is about. Then I post.

| I actually begin with the posts with the least number of reply's. I am afraid those people might be feeling lonely or unimportant. I try to avoid the ones with 5 pages of talk, except to read the first few, unless it is something I want to know about. I also like to read the personal ones about everyone - your house, your dogs. I made 500 today, easy as pie (of course, I don't cook).

| I totally understand where you are coming from. I have been a member for quite awhile, but do not have a high post count due to the fact that I do more reading than posting. Many times, by the time I have read through a thread, someone has already stated what I would say, the thread has gotten heated, or I've run out of energy! Don't worry about your post count - there certainly isn't a popularity contest about who's has the most posts (at least I hope not because I would definitely lose) |

| I try to read all the responses real fast, and then post. Sometimes it's hard to say something that hasn't already been said. |
