I was surprised to find those who have made literally thousands of posts and been "thanked" thousands of times, but have never (0) thanked anyone ever for a their comment, helpful tip, or post. Could that really be accurate ? Just seemed a bit hard to believe that people on here that many times have never found anything helpful or worth a "thanks" ?? Have no idea, just struck me as very curious was all ! I thought....LOL... are these actually "bots", LOL, so they don't "thank" others, like human beings...LOL ! ? In all seriousness, just seemed strange and never noticed in all the years since they first started this over at Crisper's on Fridays ! BTW, I miss Crisper's...but apparently I'm in the minority for sure...LOL !

Hi Pairadocs,
I have been around here forever, too. Yes. Things have certainly changed in a lot of ways and everywhere. TOTV is a microcosm often reflecting those changes. I do appreciate the fact that the moderators keep things from getting out of hand. If they did not do so, TOTV would have turned into just another internet cesspool of dysinformation and divisive behavior — and I would have left.
I am not on Facebook. TOTV is my only social media. I show up to post as kind of a hobby, like some people do puzzles or crochet. I get more into posting on days when I am procrastinating because I have work to do that I don’t want to do.
Sometimes when I think about all the posts I have written here, I say to myself, “Geez, Boomer, you coulda written 3 plays or gone to law school with all the words you have spent on TOTV.”
But I keep on posting. (sigh) Having been around since long before the thank you thing, I guess I am not doing it for validation.
