> Another thing I've noticed is how very "cliquish" this Board is. We tend to respond to people we know quicker than those we don't. We only seem to really pay attention when someone new comes along who demands attention. However, you'll see many new names where a person quietly asks a question and no one ever responds. They leave thinking this is not a place for support. I know, because when I first posted here a long time ago, no one responded. I left, but came back months later.
I think it's natural to respond to people you know quicker than those you don't. And I'm glad you came back after that first time! FWIW, this is from something on Psycho-Babble that I've submitted for publication:
> Between January and August, 2000, 1516 members posted 21,230 messages in 3028 discussion threads. 48% of posters posted just once. 13% of threads consisted of only the initial post.
