I must admit it! I am a thread stalker
I am a Lurker all over the boards, and yet I have learned alot from the different boards here, I now feel that a Thank You is necessary on my part to all of you who post your lives up for me to learn about my upcoming journey.
I just wanted to say Thanks...

We have ALL been there and done that with the thread stalking.
For me, "stalking" instead of posting is more about the TIME factor. I have time to READ posts any day of the week... RESPONDING to them takes time. I also hesitate to respond to some posts if I think I'll get too many responses to MY response (hence more time involved responding to THOSE responses). And I'm long-winded which makes it even worse.
I've even got to where if too many people respond to me, I just say "This is the last time I'm responding on this thread." Then I let them just say whatever they want. I'll read it, but I'm not responding anymore. Who has time to do that on all the boards all the time??? NOONE!
So I totally get where you are coming from. When the holidays are over (and my vacation time over), I can totally see myself going back to stalkerville!
