MemberOccasionally I go back and check what was added into threads that I posted in. I’ll see that someone replied to the same idea that I brought up earlier and I feel bad. I’m thinking hey, I already brought this up, how come you didn’t see it. Anyone else feel this way sometimes?
MemberI think it’s because when there are pages and pages of replies (or even just one lengthy page), I sometimes don’t read every single comment. I’m sure that’s what’s happening.
MemberIt happens all the time to me, but I know that sometimes people don’t read all the way through the post, they might just read the original post and maybe skim before answering. At least I think that is what happens. I wouldn’t feel too bad about it, it happens to us all 🙂
MemberSometimes… but then I remember how sometimes I don’t like reading through lots of replys and consider they probably didn’t either and then I’m over it. lol
Member@Pupperoni: Nah. I usually just assume the way the other person worded their response resonates more with the OP than what I said.
MemberMember@SoonToBeeMrsD: Yeah, I just did it, too. I noticed that KatyElle had a good point.
I do have a tendency to skim though and KatyElle’s response stuck out for me.
To the OP, I wouldn’t take it personally.
MemberI think its the love when you see @yourname. It’s like oh cool I said something important!

Hostess@Pupperoni: Yes. But as SoonToBeeMrsD said, I’m sure it happens to us all.
HostessI agree completely that it’s not always possible to read all the replies. But it always makes me feel great when I’ve posted a response or advice, and then later, someone throws me an @ mention saying that they agree or that I’m right on. Of course, sometimes they throw me an @ mention saying they disagree, too. 🙂
