I thought about that and was hoping my paragraph breaks might help. On another forum I belong to the mods ask for breaks in long posts. I guess I have to try harder to be more succint.
Right again and I am only now realizing it, I am on PC everyday and try to respond to a lot of people's threads but not remembering my own and being considerate enough to return is really sh*tty. I think I am going to ask people to use the mention function for me. This isnt an excuse but my ADHD sometimes makes me forget or overlook these things of my own and get focused on others' posts. Or something is a problem at the moment and becomes consuming and keeps me off and when I return I've forgotten.
OMG! I hope it doesn't seem like my MO.
No, i am really hearing you and I want to validate what you are saying.

What I try and do with my own longer posts is make much shorter paragraphs - of just a few sentences each. This is what is suggested for writing articles on the web - to make longer content easier to read and digest.
What's also nice is when the OP replies to you when you've put great thought into a post for them. I have a hard time sometimes and can take it personally when the OP doesn't acknowledge my post and only just replies to one out of several posts. I am working on trying not to take offense.
In my own threads, I try to acknowledge everyone's posts in one way or another. If I cannot reply to every single post, then I try to give hugs and thanks.
There's another suggestion for you on your own threads - to acknowledge each person's post with a hugs or a thanks.
