Superman, I think the problem is that you're treating the message board as you would a chat room. While it's ok to have a conversation composed of lots of one-line responses and inquiries for more info from one or two particular people in a chat situation, it's not appropriate on a message board. Unlike the chat situation, where the short questions, responses and lots and lots of hitting the enter key, just disappear after those in the room see them, when you post on a message board they stick around and build up. Hence, when someone logs in later they see TONS of messages from you and it can get very tiring. I would suggest not replying with one line messages (it's ok if you don't acknowlege every post individually -- people won't take offense, most don't expect personalized responses in any case). Unless you have a very well thought out idea or question or some way to build on what someone else has said, try not to post it. Then, when you want to respond, make sure you have something new to add, not just "tell me more" or "me too" type replies. You can also work on lumping multiple things into one message so as not to cause so much clutter. Good luck!
