Odd - weird and wonderful - almost unbelievable - or is it just me?

I agree David and best left alone I will not be replying further, than I did as I was reported for what I considered a helpful post 🤷🏼‍♀️

Is it - dying I mean?

I hope it isn’t dying I only joined relatively recently. Perhaps my contributions were the nail in the coffin🤣
Tbh I am a pretty good ‘closer’ inasmuch as on a fair few threads I am the last poster then it drops rapidly down the ranks before disappearing.
Perhaps this will also be the last post 🫣

I know how you feel Fallingstar, I seem to be a thread killer too.

Shouldnt think so. Several new names in the last 2 months.

And threads that started years before and for some reason someone has posted and resurrected it so it appears on trending. You post without realising it’s two years out of date until some savvy gnetter points it out. Why is this allowed to happen?

Does anyone else start typing and then decide they have nothing interesting to add, so they scrub it?

I do this quite a lot, or I post something then think it sounds stupid and I wish I hadn’t bothered.

My version is everyone is strange to everyone else.

I don’t think it really matters how old the thread is if people still find the subject interesting..

I agree with that, Shinamae, some old threads can be interesting. Very often, it seems, they are revived by a troll, someone reports it, and because the thread is near the top of the list, other people start posting.

Sometimes old threads are so out of date they become irrelevant.

There’s nowt as strange as folk.

Very true. And not just on this site but generally in life I have found that people are all a bit odd including me and mine.

I don’t really agree as many are very out of date with possibly the original poster moved, no longer on GN, or heavens above may no longer be with us.
One recently was about a young grandson it was so old the grandson was probably out at work or married by now much better to start a new one about the same subject if needed

The same advice may not even be relevant ten years on

Thank you Blue Belle
