I have read it a number of times in this thread that we tend to "keep up with those we know". I wonder how many new people I am missing out on getting to know because I don't read their threads? If I don't recognize the name, I tend not to read the thread unless it really catches my attention. This thread has been an inspiration to me that I need to give others a chance. Who knows? I might just make some new friends!!

One other thing that I noticed is we don't seem to want to read back after the first page or two. With SO many threads posted everyday, a thread that was posted yesterday could end up on page three within 24 hours! Sometimes I do go back more than a few pages. I have found some treasures that got buried with all the new stuff coming in.

If you are reading this and your thread got pushed back to page 3 or 4, etc... and you still need to talk about it, post something in your own thread to bring it back to page one. It may just light a fire! Some don't come in here everyday and they miss alot of threads.
