madame_zora said:Hey, I understand what all you newer members are saying, and you're not wrong at all. What you have to understand is that we all went through "lpsg kindergarten" too. Most of us made friends first with the other people they came in with, then spread out into the group through time, that just seems to be how it goes. It's the same on a job or any other group network, when you first join a group, you usually make friends with the people who are also just coming in, until you get your bearings a little bit about what's going on.
We're reading, believe me. Most of us try to remember how awkward it was to come in and we try to make you feel included, but many of the older members (like myself) have settled into a few sections where we are still interested and we don't read the whole board. When you post something in our particular section of interest, it's probably the first thing we've seen from you.
As annoying as it is for you to feel you have to "break in" to the group, it is also annoying for a group in progress to spend a lot of time and attention on members who disappear in a few days too, so we have a reluctance perhaps to get too attatched to you until we know if you're even going to stick around. This probably isn't clearly understood, so you think we're unfriendly- I certainly hope that is not the case.
Welcome guys- the more you post, the easier it will be for us to get to know you, and we want to.

The 3 "P's rule. Patience, Persistence and Persuasion. Add a 4th for "Pluckiness"?
Hatched69 said:Ha!
That CAN be arranged.
Seriously, whether someone responds or not to a post is their choice. Like I've said before, I won't lose sleep because I didn't get any responses to posts, it just makes it more fun when someone DOES respond. I plan on being around a while, just as long as things don't get nasty and hateful, I'll be a regular.
Phair enouph? :biggrin1:
