If there is some “tidbit” of importance we are discussing, the “Search” should provide it for anyone who really would like to access it

This, to me, is not a very inclusive statement.
Regarding views vs. # of posts. You have approximately 11 views for every post. ETBW’s thread on Jair’s cap: 19 views for every post. Flash44’s “skinny and beautiful” thread: 27 views for every post. In other words, a small group of people is religiously reading the CA Clique thread. The rest of the BB is missing everything that’s on there. Which is too bad, because there’s a lot of good stuff.
I’m drawing a line. I don’t want to see all the different cliques coming to their individual clique threads every day, using one thread as their own little BB. That’s not the point. And this isn’t a new campaign on my part. Ask the VA clique. I’ve been harping at them from day 1.
In retrospect, I probably should have drawn the line much sooner and nipped it in the bud, rather than giving you guys so much slack. As usual, it comes back to haunt me. 
I don’t know how many different ways I can say this… The BB is not meant to be a place for different small groups to hang out and talk amongst themselves. It’s meant to be a large community, and if you make a post, it should be meant to be read by the whole community. If you’re coming here only to talk to a handful of people, that should be done via email instead.
Kill the thread, please. I don’t have the time or desire to argue this.
Sorry to hear you are having a bad week Erin. 
I am surprised that someone who is anal enough to count and keep track of how many postings all the threads get, and keep a full time job that is not connected to COTH BB at all, would let something that is happening in their personal life make them come off as b*tchy to people who are 3000 miles away. 
Hope that comes out as friendly and concerned that you should not worry yourself so much about such minute things.
I recall reading an article in a COTH I think way before you were born, haha, that stated THIS IS NOT BRAIN SURGERY!!
NO FLAMES PLEASE!!! 
Now Bumpkin, you quit that! I can smell those firs and with a real stretch of my imagination I am walking through Hendricks Park in Eugene, with Rhododendron bushes in full bloom taller than me.
However, I am amidst the cactus now though I do have a couple of Ficus trees taller than my house, nothing resembling a forest.
KateFir does have a good ring to it. I shall save it for my return to the NW. That is when it stops raining for awhile.
“Dear God,” elizabeth mutters with a hearty chuckle, “I remember what happened when I suggested the last CA thread was getting long in the tooth.”
