I didn't realize there was a home page regardless of whether you sign in or not....each topic shows what page you're reading on.....so say you start with the original topic (and click on it) that would be the first page to start reading replies and it's shows pages on the top or bottom right hand side which page you are reading on.....then you keep hitting the next page to keep reading about the original topic and all the replies...maybe I'm not explaining this right but it's so easy to follow regardless of signing in or not. I enjoy reading all the replies even tho there are numerous pages on some topics and thus when a question is asked/answered numerous times on the same topic it is simply because someone has not read through all the posts to realize their question has been asked and answered ad nauseum (sp). I am not trying to be critical or rude but frankly just don't understand how in the same topic the same thing has been brought up so many times and wonder why the person doesn't read through the entire thread before posting the same question again and again. I am not trying to offend anyone but just wondering why?
:shock: :shock:
Here is another perfect example of not reading through the posts on a thread. My original post was on page 26 and this post on page 27 but I keep getting berated from the page 26 post. I thought this particular post explaned myself far better especially since we now have 31 plus pages of posts. Again, I love to read everyone's opinions and thoughts on various products but to have people that don't want to take the time to read everything and question more than one thing over and over makes the topic so long and it becomes so timely to go through each and every post and I understand why people don't want to but for those of us that do read through it all it does become frustrating. I am only human too and was only trying to understand why this happens so much. I received many informative opinions on this.
However the lady that cared to share a bible verse with me was out of line as far as I am concerned. Yes, I am a Christian but this is not the place to share my/our various religious or even political views especially in relation to a fair and honest question. I know many ladies have their favorite bible verses by their names and that is fine and I do enjoy that but to specifically point to a bible verse in regards to my honest question was out of line. We probably have many religions on this board and some that may not even have a religion and it is not our place to preach our views to them in relation to questions asked.
Again as my above post states, I was not trying to be offensive to anyone but trying to understand why people would ask the same questions over & over again. There are actually more posts in this topic on more than the purple thang that have been asked and answered several times. It sure makes for a very long thread when this happens. Obviously it doesn't bother some and for some it makes people wonder just as myself. So....to end the subject for myself and others...it was an honest question and for whatever reason sensitive to some so please accept my apology but also understand that I too love to read through and learn what I can from this board and do read through ALL the topics and posts that intererst me but find it annoying for the same questions to be asked over and over again when answered because they chose not to read through the entire topic. Color me an imperfect human being for this feeling if you must.
I never think it is out of place to quote scripture that helps me to be a kind person...not a religious view...just the words I try to live by and I didn't mean it to be berating...just as a kind word to remind all of us to be kind....including myself.
I love what everyone has to share...even if it is repeated...sometimes I need it to be repeated too.
I would never intend to hurt anyone especially the folks on this board...who I feel as if are a community of friends.
