Thanks again for yours and each member’s input.
No, please. My comment was not directed at you in the least. I was trying (poorly) to illustrate that some members are "window shopping". They want a reply to their question. Not a reply to the same/similar question by someone else. They will ask a question on an older post where the original poster hasn't logged into FT for months. Recently I've seen two members post a question to someone where the answer is a few posts higher on the same page. Its redundant in my opinion & distracts from FT.
I was speculating that they might be doing a similar pestering of members through the message system. Thus some members had turned off messages to combat this. So a question by a legitimate (you) member suffers as an end result. IE, your are the victim rather than the perpetrator. Sorry if you felt my post painted you in a poor light. I was trying to explain why you are having trouble asking questions.
I'm of the same school as Lostsheep. When I joined. I spent countless hours reading literally a hundred pages or more of previous posts. I learned a lot by just hard research.
Yes, I'll be quick to admit that I can be blunt at times. It can be seen as a flaw. But in my career I had bosses that liked direct talk.
Off topic. I might be posting less in the future. My wife just had a heart attack. My energies will be directed in her direction. Due to her current condition. Sitting in an ICU room makes for a poor mental clarity to write good posts. Sex is definitely off the table. I appreciate what FT has been able to do for me. But there is a good chance that a person can argue my implant has failed after eight months by this change in my wifes health picture.
