That was my original intent, but as I said, it's not working out. People can't objectively judge how interesting their own posts are. None of us can. Or at least it seems that way.
I liked the pets etc. on chit chat, and the birthdays, and wedding announcements etc. bc these are important events that are interesting, and I hate to miss them. Why would that bother anyone. I don't get it.
Roben actually hit it right on the mark with the post above. So I'll quote it:
the posts may have well been moved so that everyone was being treated the same

I want to address this reply for my own understanding. Hope it helps more than me.

Since as humans, we cannot read minds, this has to be a judgement call, and the only answer I can think of...is reader tolerance.
What am I missing? What am I reading, and supporting, that is bothering so many,...and who are "they"? who are, where are,...all these 'bothered' ppl?
Speak up, and say
exactly, what is wrong with threads, so we can understand.
Just as, if I for example, write a thread, and get many positive responses, I would also, re-think my contributions, if my stuff were being ignored etc.
Just as we need to be considerate when posting, we also need to be considerate when reading. It's a two way street.
Ppl are unique, and bring all sorts of different stuff to the table.
Do you, any of you, really, truly, believe that someone took the time to consider, assemble, and type out, a whole thread, just to get in your craw? really?
Can you not at least imagine, that this subject, or these pictures, to them, were interesting enough, that they believed others would enjoy or be benefitted also?
You will never come up with a perfect formulation for chit-chat. It's an individualized thing, and I think we need to all look at the number of views, and replies and use that as our guide as to what is most beneficial to a large number. I am going to start paying more attention to those.

member: the posts have been moved, so that everyone was being treated the same...
ok, maybe I am being dense...so I'll just say, 'duh"...I don't understand.
Enlighten me, please.
Who was not being treated the same as who, and in what way?
I am not complaining. I can go click on the new section, and find the pets to show my gbabies and to enjoy myself, not criticising...I sincerely don't know what the issue was with this. Please fill me in, bc it must be something that was heard about in pm's, and we have no idea what that is?
