Thanks for your time.

Interesting topic by the way.

Status: offline 		The title catches my attention  when it comes to choosing threads as well.  If i agree with the majority of replies...i most often do not  post. (unless i either feel strongly about the topic or have a different point of view to offer)
Also when someones words or feelings mirror my own on a deep level.

I also read far more threads than i  actually comment on, and delete more replies than i post

Status: offline 		Yup.  Everyone's pretty much said what I was going to say.  The title might grab my attention, although there have been a few titles I've passed over as being of no interest, only to find a couple days later that the actual OP was interesting and I DID have something to say on the subject.  For the most part, however, I usually only read those threads and posts that present a different slant on things, and I tend to skip the touchy-feely, kumbayah type posts.
