Hey there Brandi - for me its not that the posts/threads are bad

Its just that sometimes the opening post will tell me if I am likely to be interested in that thread.

For example - I don't "do" specific diets, or weight loss programmes like weight watchers - so those discussions only hold little interest for me. Having been here a while now, I know that often successes like weight loss appear in other threads, so I can congratulate members on their success and tenacity and perserverence in those.

If the thread was titled something like "Does WW work for you?"... well, I would have nothing to add to a thread about whether weight watchers works for me (as I have never belonged) and have no particular passionate interest in knowing how many grams of this or that someone else is eating - I can also add nothing constructive or useful to the enquiry and ensuing discussion... so I pop the thread on "ignore"

I assume this process is the same for JoBob

As you say, there are no "bad" threads here or "nasty" posts...
This is a fantastic forum.
