does anyone else do this? when i see a thread with more than about 50 replies, i often dont bother posting. I dunno, it just seems like kind of a waste of time, since when i post in large threads, i NEVER get responded to

2. I was just thinking about that!!!??? |

I agree, why offer an opinion. Most responses are without much text, and you are drowned out in a sea of posting. Anyway, I responded to this short thread and need to sleep. Hope this thread grows, peace.....

3. me too, unless my take hasn't been voiced yet, and in cases such as |
|
skittles post. it can't hurt anyway, I figure, though I did hesitate before I posted, thinking "like my condolences really are going too mean anything" but figured may as well.

14. thank you! and yes, mucho good karma going around here:) |

though sometimes if I miss posting in a condolence/support type thread I feel bad, like I'm being selective, but sometimes I just feel completely at loss for words, but more often just didn't get a chance to read every page of DU that day. amazing how much time I spend on here, but lately it's been the only site I visit unless I need some info on something like directions or airfare. this is the best site ever!

4. It depends on the topic |
|
Sometimes it's interesting just to see what people are saying. Some that are on going are fun sometimes too.

discussions, thats cool. but when it's "post your celebrity crush" or shit like that, it's not like it MATTERS to the rest of DU...though it DOES raise your post count :)

it's hard to have a discussion with a thread like that.

unless I started it or it is particularly interesting to me, I don't bother.
There are also a couple of posters who start threads that get gigantic and they rarely ever bother to respond to much of anything in the thread they started. I don't see the point in responding to them.

I almost didn't post in this thread. If there's more than 40, I usually don't even read them.
