Sorry if I am rephrasing what someone else has said above...so maybe this is part of the problem...I'm not taking the time to read the ALL because I just don't have the time!!! (bad girl...****smacking my hand****) On the plus side....we have a big group of people here now and the likelihood of getting an answer to your questions is great!!! Think about how your felt before you even had anyone to ask! On the neg side....it is getting a bit time consuming to keep up with everyone. I can only check the board twice a week and by the time I come back....there have been so many responses and NEW questions, that the questions from just a few days ago are waaaay down at the bottom. I think the chit-chat is fine but it gets a bit frustating if the thread changes midstream or the responses are so short that you could have easlity said DITTO (or whatever)in the subject line. My bottom line is this, I guess....we should not discourage any kind of conversations here. We are a small enough community as it is. Perhaps we could put OT in the subject line or make a point to be very specific in the subject line if you are changing the subject or adding to it or whatever. Whatever it takes to keep the flow going but lets the readers have a better idea if it is something they want to read. Let's just keep in mind that we have a higher volume now and we should just do what we can to make it easiest on our friends here.
