Dear everyone,
I. Am. Sorry.

..and a bit angry, 'cause I had finished writing this long post when I accidentally clicked back and lost everything! FML >_<
So now you get the shorter version.

Anyway, thing is I've never felt so nice in a virtual community before, I end up passing more time than I should here.
Even so, I'm not as talkative as many of you (you may have already noticed) but I read/bump threads, I do puzzles, I join events.. I try to do my part.
Most of times, though, I face the dilemma of how I should answer to a comment, like "How can I say this in english?" or "Hey, I've thought of a witty reply that is perfect in this case", Fseven k Gzero, or just trying to understand if the sentence I'm reading has a serious, sarcastic tone or is supposed to be a pun/joke. Sometimes I'm tempted to comment something but then I think that I should not reply to x without replying to y first.
Some other times instead, my Ph.D. in Applied Procrastination just kicks in and there's nothing we can do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think it's possible for me to have a bit of attention deficit too, who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So, today I went back 10 pages of my notifications and replied to most of the messages. I left out generic thanks and those I couldn't get to anymore (like those Yu Win Lottery GAs). Ok, maybe I forgot some more, I'm not sure. But I marked all as read anyway.
Hence, again, I'm sorry if I didn't/won't answer you. I'm trying my best. But those notifications pile up soo fast I can't keep up! =P
You know what? You should put in the message an indicator of how much/fast you want an answer, it will be very helpful! XD

Oh, I've also turned 4 levels old a couple of days ago.

Perfectly understand you. It sums up to almost 100 replies for me a day (happens when you do many giveaways) and I'm having a hard time finding messages back I intended to reply to but didn't straight away.
Most of the time I forget about them.
I'm also very sorry!

Well, my interest on the posted threads had declined and I don't know if it was me or the "not interesting" threads. Anyway I kinda step off for a while, but couldn't stay away for long. Now, I comment here and there trying to find interesting stuff, since Im not social/"rich" enough to make my own.

(CTRL+A, Backspace) x2. but finally made it.

mom i did it again!

Nice community? You've apparently never came across me before. I'm a dink. Don't worry too much about your English. There are many English as a Second Language speakers here that are more articulate than us natural born speakers. My notifications can really pile up, particularly for this thread. and unfortunately i forget to reply to them a lot. I leave them unread until i respond to important ones, or update that thread. If i go a couple days without doing either, I log in with my notification counter popping up over 100, even without GA's going.

I understand that, for the first few months here I barely commented at all because I didn't really know what too say and I was afraid I was gonna say something stupid and embarrassing. Now I comment quite a lot, but I still don't respond to a lot of people because I don't really know how to respond to them and also dealing with depression that get really bad during October and November that still getting worse from them so at times I just don't feel like answering, which is kinda hypocritical because a lot of the time I go out of my way to get people to respond to me. So I would also like to say I'm sorry.

Anyway, congrats on level 4.I got this ga I don't know what to do with so I'm going to put it here also.

No worries! I love having me in your puzzle trains! Yap as much or as little as you like! It was nice that you came back and said thank you but it's not required...

You are alot of fun on the puzzles and that's what I like about you! Looking forward to getting to know you better. This discussion thread helped me see what a genuine great hearted person you truly are! Thanks buddy!

I'm in similar situation! I started to crawl from my cave of silent lurking from time to time, but not too much. I usually come up with a great response after reading discussion, but while scrolling down I almost always see someone saying my thoughts but in much better way. So why saying anything at all, if it doesn't add anything new to the conversation? So most of my posts are for bumping threads (of course it's not original too, but at least it helpful), nice wishes to all those big and small celebrations (even it's not anything new or creative - it's still nice to read, I hope) and gratitude for puzzles/events/etc (same reason as previous). But then again, I prefer listen irl too, so it's not a problem for me, I perfectly fine with being unnoticeable :) I love this community and all wonderful people and just reading without actual interaction is more than enough for me. So here, have a bump and thank you for posting! ^_^
