<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1018459, member: 13650&quot;]This thread has really blossomed.&nbsp;&nbsp; The answers to the OP can be found throughout.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I would agree with JerseyCat about the forum slipping in quality posts.&nbsp; When I joined in 2008, it seemed like a very different place than it is now.&nbsp; It just seems kind of slow now.&nbsp; Which may not necessarily mean a &quot;bad thing&quot;.&nbsp; It could just be that all of the members have discussed so much back and forth, that everyone has mostly learned what they wanted and don&#039;t have much to say anymore.&nbsp; That&#039;s pretty much where I&#039;m at.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve read a lot here and several books.&nbsp;&nbsp; I tend to always be thinking about different things but feel that I&#039;ve asked most everything I could come up with.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t create many new posts anymore just because I haven&#039;t thought of something worth while to post lately.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; On top of this, people are busy!&nbsp; I&#039;d say most people won&#039;t take the time to read this entire page 2, let alone this whole thread.&nbsp; Let alone 15-20 different threads a day here.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Would have to agree, the subject line needs to be very specific and has to be interesting.&nbsp;&nbsp; I skip 90% of the threads anymore and I usually will not post unless I feel I can add something thought provoking.&nbsp;&nbsp; I admit, I&#039;ll usually look at the topic and then look to see who the OP was, before I&#039;ll click on it.&nbsp;&nbsp; Nothing against the newcomers.&nbsp; I just know a veteran&#039;s post may be more interesting to me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; There is a wealth of excellent, old threads here.&nbsp; The newbies would do themselves a lot of good to go back and read some of them from the past few years.&nbsp; The search function works great.&nbsp; I&#039;d rather see an old one bumped up than a brand new one with the same subject line I&#039;ve seen 5 times before.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;A lot of thought has went into answers in old threads.&nbsp; Most people don&#039;t feel like writing it all over again for someone else, again and again.&nbsp; Just the way it works in every forum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
