Hi bobby... My opinion is simply people `move-on` a bit in their lives...they get used to wearing etc. and eventually they lose interest in posting.... I can fully understand that because there is a lot of repetition, as new people come on and ask the same thing which has already been dealt-with. I suppose a forum like this has a lot of information in/on it and that can be a `problem`for new people ..they want a specific point / question answered and it`s `buried`somewhere down the pages... it`s understandable that they will just ask it in a new thread. The only `problem`with this forum as I see it, is , when someone leaves a long-ish question including pics, the first person to reply, hits the `reply`button immediately at the bottom of the post instead of typing in the blank ``Quick reply`` box underneath/separate from the original post...this re-produces the whole thing over again along with the reply and makes the thread harder to read because the page has to be scrolled-down and ends up being 3 or 4 pages long ...... when a few people do the same, the whole thing just becomes SO long and the original post is continually being re-produced..... be good if people wanting to reply to anything could just type their reply in the [new/blank ] ``Quick reply`` box underneath ..just click the mouse in the box, type away, and then click the `` Post reply`` white button...... it will help to keep the thing `tidy`... regards to everyone... Paul.
