Though I rarely post on ENTS I do enjoy many of the varied posts from other members. My focus on trees has mainly been in the metro-Atlanta area, though I love hearing about interesting trees from all over. Many posts seem to be heavy on PA forests and other areas which just reflects the membership I think. I really enjoy the detailed trip reports like those of Will Blozan's. I have posted some recent questions and though I did not receive a ton of feedback, I did get some very useful replies very quickly. I certainly don't look at a lack of chatter as a lack of interest from the numerous members here. ~Eli

Partly because I work 11-12 hours a day. I usually check ENTS once in the morning before my work gets nuts. I am sure there are alot of people here with a similar situation. That said, once winter hits, my slow season, I usually reply more and put up more posts. I enjoy the Pine Barrens articles. Keep it up.
