Actually, I kinda like it. It does show that there are an awful lot of lurkers who just may not feel comfortable responding, or may not have the time, or whatever, and it gives an indication of just how popular this whole forum is. I read a LOT of threads that I don't post to, just out of curiosity, or seeking new info, etc.

Yeah, I don't know how many times I start reading a thread, come up with something to say, but by the time I've gotten to it, 10 other people have already responded and brought up all of the points I was going to make! :banghead: I'm not always one to just say 'Me too.' just to up my post count (regardless of what I said above).

I have two types of threads:
784327523750327503275272752728375432097598279032 views and 0 posts,

and fast growing threads that suddenly sink to page two of the threads list...
