Finally, because of the time issue, I am usually 2-3 weeks behind on • reading
(meaning what I am reading now was posted 2-3 weeks ago - right now I am
actually fairly caught up on Lugnet posts which is a bit surprising).
Because of this delay, I often feel awkward posting a reply weeks after • the
other discussion on that topic has died out.  Therefore, even when I have
something which I would like to say, I usually favor letting the comment
pass due to the time lag.

Tim, I think your entire post was great, and I agree with everything you
said.  I just wanted to comment on the time-lag issue.  Sometimes I suffer
this too.  Even though I may have a little more time online, there are • just
too many posts and threads to keep up with for most of us.  However, if I
feel my comments are worth sharing, I will post a reply to older threads
regardless.  Often, my added comments receive no further reply (maybe
because others view the topic as dead), but sometimes it will spark a
renewed interest in the subject if my added reply offers a new • perspective.

Cheers,

One ADVANTAGE of being a bit behind on reading posts is that you can read an
entire thread in one sitting.  I find this to really be nice especially on a
nice 40-50 post thread.  Alas, I often find that my own thoughts have
already been posted by someone else earlier.  Instead of reposting an
identical (or near identical) thought, I simply let it pass.  This too
probably greatly contributes to my lack of overall posting.

Tim
