    What I don't want is more of what I already saw in the last thread I looke ...[text shortened]... ays hopeful, that's why I'm still here, even though it seems others don't want the same as I do.
    "I click on a thread which doesn't have my name as last poster... "

    Why?

    Why?
    Why would I want to click on one which does have my name as last poster? I must have already read everything that's in there .... 🙄

    Of course, just hoped you'd elaborate on 'what you wanted' and why.
    Reason: Got a hunch your thread may be a cousin to mine.

    Yes but if you click on the thread that has you as the last poster, you know you will see at least, one brilliant post. That's what happens for me. It's uncanny.🙂

    * new information
    * OR good conversation

    the question is: should we have a thread on what we don't like in a thread or would that be self defeating?

    Seems what we like or don't like must relate to the general community interest for a thread's conversation to succeed.

    A thread is like a theater play. It's dreaming of 100 pages of discussions.
