I hear ya on that. In my Yahoo group, I have exactly 500 members according to the stats on the front page. There are probably a dozen that seem to be active at all, and most of them rarely post or respond to my posts. I know that some of them care. But you would never know it. So I do understand that. Thanks.

Or ever, period. Are they not interested? Who knows. Even though they are silent they are here, but we’d never know it. Will F.

When I go to the trouble of posting something like my Belleplain SF hike or my hike through one of our dwarf forests, I find it very surprising when there are few or no responses. So naturally I get concerned. I know that other people's posts are responded to sometimes within minutes of them getting posted! Anyway, thanks. --- On Mon, 7/27/09, Will Blozan <[email protected]> wrote: From: Will Blozan <[email protected]> Subject: [ENTS] Re: My posts on this forum To: [email protected] Date: Monday, July 27, 2009, 3:21 PM Barry, You nailed MY interests exactly. I am into the superlatives, not bog furnaces. That’s OK. It doesn’t mean your posts and observations are not valuable. I enjoy the photos you post and your descriptions of your area are valuable. I won’t say that every time but keep it in mind! Will F. Blozan President, Eastern Native Tree Society President, Appalachian Arborists, Inc.

Aside from Ed Frank and Jenny, and sometimes a couple others, usually no one responds to my posts. To quote someone from another group I belong to, silence generally does not encourage one to continue posting. </table </table --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
