I guess its simply because some people like myself, read the board every day for years, but seldom feel the need to post. If I can't contribute to a post in a meaningful way, why bother? It's not necessary to add my 2 cents if a point has already been made,simply to add posts to my signature. I have read this board for at least 5 years, but rarely post. Then one time it was so long in between posts I couldn't remember my password and had to re register with a new user name! (Tried to retrieve it by following instuctions, but it was never sent...but thats another story). Also, when I rent I've contacted potential renters by sending them a pm only, and not posting. Well, thats my reason for not having lots of posts. Maybe others are the same way. Andrea
