Taking a forum poll

[Greg]

Do you read this forum at least once a week?
Once a day?
Multiple times a day?

How often do you comment?

What holds you back from commenting?

I try to get here once a day…otherwise I have Greg withdrawal symptoms….and that can be rough.

I comment fairly regularly if I think I have something of value to add.

What holds me back from commenting? Hmmmm…well, if I am not in a particularly positive frame of mind sometimes I refrain from commenting. Other times, I just don’t have anything to add and the reading is what gives me my support when having a rougher day. Sometimes I even go back and read some of our old discussions so I can see just how far we’ve come.

Most weeks I check 2-3 times a day after I check my email. I comment if I have something to add that is of value. Some topics like stuff about RC’s I don’t because I haven’t had one. Other times I like to post stuff to bug Kiowa or Greg. Occasionaly I try a new topic to stir things up especiallly because it has been fairly quiet on the site for a while.

Check the site 2-3 times per day. Comment where I believe I have experience on a subject ie non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, or when I hope to add support to a patient or caregiver.

Good topic.

I check the discussion forum daily.

I post infrequently … and nothing really holds me back from posting. But I don’t post unless something particularly tweaks my interest, or I have a question that I know will be answered by fellow members, or sometimes if I have experience that I think can help with somebody’s posted question or problem.

I do value the discussion forum a lot, though. Feel like somebody’s “got my back” kind of, you know?

I read the forums several times a day.
I post when I think I have something to add to the topic, or, if I have a query or concern.
I enjoy the humerous posts as well….I do not comment, as I do not have a witty sense of humour 🙂

I check the forum about once a week! I don’t post often, but I really like logging on, reading, and getting the feeling of support, like Susan says, the “got your back” effect. 🙂

There you go again, Greg. Prying into other people’s business. So typical of you. Well, OK. Yes, I typically read it more often than once and day and try my best to respond to whatever posts I can or add new ones. Lately though I have been busy studying for an FCC exam (I passed the test with 100% by the way). I don;t like being this busy, I’m too old for this. Soon I should be back on more frequently.

As an aside, actually the real “aside” is why are we not getting more readers (registered) and more posts. I have noticed a decline and I understand the reason for the post. I guess I need to start posting my recipes again. I wonder if there is a way we could have a telephone number data base (with permissions of course) so we could check up on one another if necessary?

Thanks for the post, Greg.

I’m probably really late with a reply now but here goes anyway. I try to check the site at least every few days (ok except for the last month when I was away on vacation). I do my best to welcome new members as I remember how relieved I was to find this site with it’s wonderful information that helped relieve my fears. I don’t always comment as usually there are far better answers already given to queries and being honest I’m not that humorous so I leave that to the experts that do it so well.

Flo, don’t sell yourself short. You are a most valued member and participant. we love you and personally I find your post and replies helpful and enlightening. You contribute way much more than you thin, This sounds corny, but if I don;t see your name often I feel like a part of the internet went down. Even if someone gives an answer or replies to a post and you feel that the question has been answered., please respond anyway. Reinforcement of what someone stated is always important. Especially when Greg or Jack posts. You know how those guys are. And they need to be kept in line!

We love you
