I don't post often, in fact it's very rare. I've been a member for 5 years now and I have 280 posts. Hardly prolific.

I am cautious. I sit back and read but tend to not post unless I feel like I have something truly valuable or important to say. Apparently I am usually wrong about that. There isn't much value or importance in what I have say. Very rarely am I replied to when I post on others threads...it does happen occasionally and I appreciate that, but occasionally doesn't off-set the other things that are happening. Often there are no replies to me...or to the thread at all after I post. The most recent thing is the thread was actually closed after I replied to something. I tried very hard to not be confrontative, or otherwise aggressive in any way when I replied to a specific quote...yet the thread was closed...with the post commenting that the thread was being closed actually attached to my comment, in the middle of the thread...instead of at the end.

This type of thing happens to me over and over. I see other people say they are the "thread killer" and I laugh, knowing that if that were a real title, it would surely go to me. Misperceptions perhaps, but what I am feeling at this time. So I think I will give up on posting anything, at least for a while. No I do not mean I'm leaving altogether or deleting my account...just an indefinite break. Not that it will really even be noticed...after all, I really don't post that much.
