A lot of times if the question has already been answered I move on. Sometimes I'll click on something that I find I can't help with either so I've move on then or sometimes say I can't help. Just a mood thing I guess, not to be taken personally at all. :-D

Stop thinking about it and start sewing. It will take your mind off it! LOL

:lol: Just looked at this thread, and although I have nothing to say, feel obliged to comment. I bet there're loads of lurkers lurking and thinking *darn, I can't comment on that!*

I don't always answer because as others have said, My answer has already been posted by someone else. So why repeat it? :D Or I just don't know how to answer. :D I sure don't mean to be rude or uncaring. I do try to read as many of the posts as I can each day. This post of mine, here I am repeating what others have said. :D :D :D

My reasons:
1. Many people use "teaser" titles for their threads, so I look just to see what the thread is about. Yours is a good example. I had no idea whether your thread was about sex, the economy, or something that happened that day. Very often, once I've looked, I have no interest in the topic and so no reason to post a comment. 2. Like many others, I may be interested in the thread topic but not have anything valuable of my own to add. 3. I often check back when I'm interested in a thread. So I may post once, then look at it five or ten more times to see what else has been said - so you see 6 or 11 looks but only one reply for all of them. (And if I did post, I often check to see if anyone responded to what *I* said.) 4. Sometimes a thread is thought-provoking and I want to decide what to post, so I won't reply immediately. So you may see 2 views but only one reply in that case. 5. Frankly, sometimes I don't post because I'm censoring my words, knowing I'd only get into trouble for posting what I really want to say. |

Tell me to stop thinking about it. |
I "Just Read" more post than I reply to. I guess because I don't have anything constructive to say on the subject or how I feel or think about the post was expressed by someone else.
