In reply to It Astounds Me How Many People, posted by AdaGrace on October 24, 2004, at 20:34:20
I saw the same thing when I started here, AdaGrace. There are many posters who come here briefly and then go on their ways. I've seen as a "greeter" on the Newbie board how few people migrate from there to the rest of the boards. (You are one of the few, just take a look there.)
I think it has more to do with human nature than with people getting run off for one reason or another. For many, this is a place to stop and look, ask some questions, consider the answers, and move on. It bewildered me at first, because, like you, I "clicked" - oooh, bad mouse joke - with the general population here at Babble, and I thought - how can those others not Get It? I've made some fantastic friends here; received unquestioning support from just about all I've communicated with, and been singed a couple of times unexpectedly.
