I was surprised to see myself so high on the list. I had an idea on my count but never figured it mattered. I began to think about how it got that high. I joined in 2012. Having built models for a very long time I was happy to find this site and see all the great builders here. I learned a lot since being here, I like it here. I have made some friends here. But why so many comments ? Well, I am retired and perhaps spend more time here than a lot of others. That could account for so many posts. I also build and post quite a few models both on the bench and under glass. That could add to a post count. I reply to most comments I get with a simple "thank you'". That would account for some posts. Should I/we not do that ? I also give feed back to many of the posts by other people. Sometimes just a nice " looks great ! or "nice work ". Should I/we not do that ? I think the people here like to get a little comment like that. I like to give a little encouragement . I don't see post counts as a competition and I don't care if I have the most or the least post. I simply like being here and the great people that are always willing to help others.
