33. I lurked for a long time before I signed up. |

I still lurk more than post. The very few threads I've started have had reasonable responses. I try to reply to my replies.
I always feel frustrated when I see a deleted message — wonder what I missed! I must have hit a nerve once or twice and was starting to have fun ... but before I knew it, they were "tombstoned"! I have never been tempted to hit "alert" or "ignore" on anyone, yet.
I believe one must know what the "other side" is thinking. Being aware of what they are saying helps one recognize it when others repeat (almost word for word) the same talking points.
I also take a long time to read everything and even longer to put my thoughts into words and revise & edit. Then I end up killing the thread and feel guilty.
