Okay, I've read this whole thread - every post. I am not posting about anyone's new puppy who, in the time of thread, turned 16. Loved the whole thread!! I am also a thread killer. But I am also dense and apparently don't take a hint when I'm ignored.
I'm terrible with the name thing because I, too, am afraid that I'd call someone their dog's name. So, in addition to the great idea of using names, I propose that people are not put off or offended if user names are used. Consider it our
lame attempt at creating a more personal place.
I would like to say that I DO comb the threads for those pitiful low-count threads (typically mine!) and pop in (I also talk to the person in the corner of the party that no one talks to). I also bump threads that are lost on page 6 even if I don't know the answer.
It makes us new members feel a little better to know that you've all felt this way at one time or another.
OR that at least you all fake it to make us feel better.
There are several of you that pose as thread killers, and you are so NOT!!!!
