When a thread post leaves me wondering where did this thinking come from I always use the TOOLS this forum provides to search for other posts & threads by the OP so I can possibly get a better understanding of what is being referred to.
Even NEW members here are capable of using the tools provided to take the time to research the context which helps to provide a response that takes the context into consideration.
Many people run their thoughts from one thread to another so context is ALWAYS important in cases like that. We are ALL capable of using the tools available here on PC.

I frequently read an OP's other threads when I'm trying to understand what the situation is they are referring to, especially if they are new and I don't know a lot about them. Especially when the original post is somewhat mysterious and doesn't include any specific details.
I also look at their other threads when they say something worrisome to me and I want to see their other posts to get a better idea of how they're doing and how I can respond in a supportive way.
It's not necessary to read the OP's other threads to respond...but for those of us that have or did respond to other threads, we are able to provide different feedback.
Just like the people on here who know me and see me post a thread are able to give me more detailed feedback, which I appreciate, than those who haven't read a lot of my threads. Either way, I appreciate the perspective.
I hope Ruby will chime in soon and tell us how her current job is going and if she has started seeing a T and how that is going.
