Everlong, I've gotten out of the habit of checking the amateur forum for pics. Seems I only get down there once a month or so now. Anyway, you are more or less my sole reason for going there at all these days. The quality of your posts is astonishing and I marvel at the variety and freshness. I have tried to respond to every one of your posts that I see, but I do miss a fair number too (including recent ones). That is my loss......
As for lurkers not responding......sigh.......there is a small chance that this is seasonal. I have noticed that traffic to my website has dropped in half in the past few weeks. And I myself usually take a break from Nov to March, then pick up again in the spring. For some reason the libido wains or something......I don't know
But mainly it may be that the crop of summer vacation pics have dropped off leaving less reason to surf. Anyway - I surely would miss your posts if you were to get too pissed to continue. I would personally register 10 people to do nothing else but respond to your threads if that is what it takes
I think it is a truism that a majority of members here don't know a great post when they see one simply because they don't know a fresh pic from a repost. So they just gobble everything and run, fearful of responding lest they say something stupid.
Anyway, just my two cents worth. I should use the buddy feature or whatever its called to track your threads so that I don't miss them in the future.
cheers,
