to find out why some of you mnetters have been busy reading for a long time but don't post?
What are your reasons?

gives me the best laugh here seeing you all sniping at each other

I'm sorry ks, did you just say you are going to tussle with your groin? Maybe sharing a bit too much there

I used to post loads, but now don't have the time or the pc access. No more am I a regular poster, I'm just a temporary part-timer.

I think it should be "the home lives of us, the regular posters" but that is a slightly different construction.

I'd always say "we regular posters" though - no idea why.

Marina · 22/04/2005 15:13

That comma is all-important. But I also don't know why.
WE (regular posters) go to the pub.
Fancy asking US (regular posters) not to go to the pub.
Am I making any sense here?

JanH · 22/04/2005 15:16

No, that's different, Marina - the We are doing the going, the Us are being asked, IYSWIM.

Marina · 22/04/2005 15:17

Hmm. [gives up and starts foraging for chocolate]

I've got some G&B here, Marina, can I teleport it to you?

Marina · 22/04/2005 15:20

I am staring at my screen hopefully with my mouth ajar...no change there then!

I don't post as much now as I used to. There are so many people posting that it all goes to fast for an old fogey like me!

JanH · 22/04/2005 15:25

Trying, Pamina!

JanH · 22/04/2005 15:27

Nope, it's not working - I'll just have to eat it myself then

Never get the chance to type with 3 smalls at hom..............

Sonnet · 27/04/2005 12:07

I don't post a lot because:
Lack of time - only get opportunity on the three days I work
Find my thoughts/opinion often already been said by another poster
Occasionally have posted what I though was reply worth a mention and get no acknowledgement that I am there. I often then perversly make another comment to get the same reaction!
I do post when I have a genuine query and always get fantastic replys - thank-you all

But - the result of being a lurker, not a poster is that you feel you "know" all the regulars and they havn't got a clue who you are!! - whoich then makes it harder to post....
