I've noticed a tendency of mine that I wanted to share with you all, because I think it's a common one.

I've seen so many posts, that have very small amount of replies on them, and above them answered most recently are these huge posts with tons of replies.
Often the posts with few replies are newer members.

I noticed, with the list subscriptions I can tend to go straight to that list and answer them.
I really care about those posts - and the people I know on these boards who wrote them but I realized, that doing that first also pushes down posts that have very few replies and gives them less of a chance of being answered quickly, which some people might need.

It might make people feel sad that they don't get replies.

I just wanted to post this observation - I always try to answer where I can but I didn't realize just how much I had started not paying attention to some posts because of the subscritions

HUGS TO ALL
just thought I'd share
Thanks for this!
