Well I could have posted that I had 1 or 2 or heck even 25 but then I would be Lion!! 
Usually try and post just when I have something to add but still like to read what others are posting.

I just noticed something.I was looking at the thread "Who has mountain lions" and I noticed that over 600 people had viewed it but yet not very many people replied.And then I noticed the same thing with other threads and it got me wondering,why dont more people reply to these threads.What the heck,this is your site too.Join in on the conversation!

Sometimes I just want to see if I might be able to gain a little information for myself about the subject. Other times someone else has already posted what I would have said. And yet other times if I don't have anything good to say I might just not say anything at all. FTE has enough bandwidth problems without everyone posting to every thread they view. Not to mention the time it would take to read new posts would increase exponentially.

One other possibility is that once someone replies, they have a tendancy to keep checking everytime someone else posts, thus the views increase exponentially. 
Anyway I don't really have an opinion. I just responded cause thats what you wanted.

why post on something like that I get into enough trouble as it is, and someone else had already answered about Iowa, but I read it just to see if anyone had posted or if it is anything I have anything to say about, (or start trouble about)
and since we are mentioning them on this thread too, yeah I seen one about 2 months ago crossed the road infront of me at 2:30am or so, but of coarse Iowa DNR says I am imagining things as they don't exist in Iowa, that was until someone shot one, and found an IA dnr radio tag in it's ear. then they claimed well they had trapped a few and tagged them so they could track them and see where they were coming from, and going to and the ones here are rogue young males run out of south dakota well that is fine and dandy but 13yrs ago when I first moved here there were no sightings even in northern Iowa now we have lot's of them even in southern IA sorry but they don't migrate that far without help. and you should see how defensive they get when you mention that to a DNR officer he will get real mad, and stomp off, and refuse to talk to you anymore.

The lack of replies or small amount of replies to posts here doesn't bother me as much as in the truck group. My main peeve over there is when someone posts a question about a problem their having with their truck and the guys take the time to reply to it with suggestions or solutions to their problem and then you don't hear back from them whether it worked or not. "It worked, thanks" "No it didn't work, up yours. Nothing !!
(I agree, btw)
