Well you worked with me on it and agreed to a decent compromise. I know it was about the last thing you wanted to do at that point in time - but you agreed to it anyways for the rest of us :) I'm glad you were willing to put us first for a bit :)
Well there aren't that many who feel like I do - most give up and leave - but you all are family to me. I just gave up counting not gonna leave. I really wish I would have never started counting though - inside I"m a bit hurt and it's gonna take a few weeks or longer before I get over it. I just never imagined in my wildest dreams what would happen trying to count 10 times here but I hadn't really seen how drastic the change was on a personal level until I experienced it first hand.
But I suppose in a way it's a good thing - because the 80%er's need a voice to stick up for them and their right to enjoy counting here too... I always have but after so many things the past few weeks.
I'm not going to let this go until some of you (enough of you) really understand what Duck went through in that post above 28 times he was blatantly ignored - cold.
I'll probably let this whole thing go when everyone totally understand how it feels to be in our shoes when we are counting along with one of you and we type our number in and someone types in response to our number is...
these 3 little letters.....
Every single time I see this - I am just blown away - like do they even have a clue how rude this is?? Do they think this is appropriate to do to someone who's counting with you?? Do you really feel like they don't even deserve so much as a "thank you but if you don't mind we'd like to finish this one" - or something - anything not this:

XXX Run?
YYY Let's do this
you see what happens next....
It might really help me out for some of you to let me understand what goes through your mind when you know we are counting with you and your run-buddy says "run?"
if it were me I'd think - um we aren't alone here!!
or what about blue and zotc??
sure, but let's wait until these two are done...
or let's make sure it's ok with those two...
something?
anything?
I've been puzzled by this since the first time I ever saw it - back when it was somewhat rare - (I saw 90% of the posts those first several months) I think I saw that every few days. I was like - wow did they really just do that to ikodn?
I'd comfort them when it did happen though... and explain
"every now and they they like to get to the end as fast as possible - they'll be done in about 40 minutes"
Anyhow blue - I really hope you don't think that we are not getting along - I feel we are... just trying to understand two sides of the issues here.
I mean we are kind of from two different planets when it comes to this sub...
You've counted over 13,000 times...
I've counted 117 and even that was extremely difficult to accomplish with much joy and much pain.
Can you imagine that? 117 count being significant in your life?
Having had struggle after struggle to get those 117?
Having experienced the things you saw in those links in 117 counts?
I could probably write a small book about my expriences with trying to do those 117 counts?
Think about this for every 3 counts I've done here - you've gotten a k.
