I feel you on this one. I get the same results. I'll take the advice given and join some challenges (I joined the 10bs lost by May 1). I must say it's disheartening to see some threads get loads of replies while your own thread gets 4 or 5. It feels like being outside of the in crowd or something.

I usually do it the way kaplods does it. That is, I scan New Posts and then respond to those where I feel I have something to add.

Annah - Guilty! I just had to say hello. I feel like a lurker now. I tend to read many posts just to get encouragement and not comment. Perhaps I should. So hello! And I love the fact that you said you'd 'keep on trucking'! Awesome.
