Something else I've noticed....

BabyRider · Post by **BabyRider** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 8:48 am

Did ya' ever notice...in the threads that get LOTS of attention, (ie: the Pub, the random thread, etc...) the number of posts is always around 10% of the number of views? I duuno why I noticed it or why I felt the need to comment on it, but it was buggin' me, so I did. :yh_neutra

I noticed, too quite a while back but I never commented on it, either.

I wondered because some of the posts are so much longer (like songs

in the Pub) but it still averages out to about 10 per page.

Now if someone would just take a billy club to the back of Far's knee

maybe the rest of us could have a chance getting somewhere!!!

I'm a lurker and I admit it. The reason; I'm new here and you all seem to know each other really well, are witty, clever, quick with comebacks, and I feel like someone that goes to a party because my mom made me and I don't know anyone. But I still like to read your comments because they are funny and I always get a big smile when I read them.

I'm sure you know us as well as we want to be known.

Just jump in. If anybody can be offended by an obviously considerate person, I'd be surprised. :-6

If I read more and posted less I would learn more. But I mainly come here to destress as historically it was one of the friendlier forums.

Had to leave for a while when I got slandered.

But I'm all better now cuz I realize it ain't that big o'deal.

ladies....

don't make me take you by the hand and drag you to the fun places, just jump on in and say your bit when ever you feel comfortable, we do not bite, we tossed those ones long ago hehehe

Don't be shy we would rather you add your bits than just go away thinking we are not seeing you or caring you are about.

Oh and DO NOT be afraid to ask, how do you think we got to where we got hmmmm we all asked silly questions only to find out others wanted to know too.

Hi Betty

We had a chat about The Eden project etc a couple of weeks ago in the "English only thread".... how you doing ? Bet you're overun with holiday makers at the moment in Cornwall...never mind...the kids are back to school soon and you'll get your lovely county back for yourself.

I think it just takes time and confidence. And if you're a little on the shy side it takes more time. It's like trying to get to know a new group in any situation, cyber or real. But everyone on FG is very friendly, very helpful and supportive. But I still double/treble check my posts beforehand! I think that's just me. Mildly(?) obsessive! :wah:

Oh it is funny sometimes humor gets a little lost when you look at a flat screen void of inflections and emotions

Don't worry.

You're not alone theia. When I first joined this great Garden, & I wrote a post, I would read it over & over & check & recheck the spelling. When replying to a post, it took me sooooo long to reply (reading & rereading, checking & rechecking spelling) that most times someone else already posted their reply post, & beat me to the point I was trying to make. Now, I read over once, & spell check once, & only check what I think are the really hard words. So if I misspell a word, or the grammar is not right, the Sun will still rise tomorrow morning anyway, ha ha ha!!!

bridget, child, 61 posts in a month is not bad. Not everyone can have the posting diarrhea of a FR or worse a nomad :sneaky:

I find this statement to be not only an abonimation of my character but excracating with loathsome enmity. It deeply distresses me that I should be compared to diarrhea and FR in the same sentence. :p
