Hello Meredith

I probably expressed myself badly, I should have said -

Quote:

I have often read people's threads and not responded, either because I have felt I had nothing constructive to add, or because someone else has already made the point that I would have made. So what is the problem there?





Of course I have posted to many people here, and even 'cultivated' some regulars, as one does, either because your situations are very similar, or because you kind of just click with the person in some way. It would be impossible to keep up with everyone, even if only on just this forum! And it looks like Ellie has said the same.

Also, I think that I try to follow the dictum, if you have nothing positive to say, then say nothing. It is what I am trying to do with H, LOL! I was pretty good at pointing out his shortcomings and inadequacies, so maybe I am just in that 'positive' mode generally.

Of course 2x4s don't have to be horrid, just gentle but honest pointing out of the truth, with constructive suggestions to follow through.

Another reason I don't respond to certain threads is that many of the posts are just personal banter, with references to sports and TV shows in the USA, of which I know BA (bu**er all)... I mean, I ONLY JUST found out who Nemo and Sting and Bruce and all the rest are, having watched Finding Nemo about ten days ago.
