Question about site

How come people on this site don't respond much to questions? I mean that's what it's for, Am I right?
Don't mean to sound negative, just curious. Thanx, SUZANNE

Re: Question about site

I think it's because most of the readers "like me" haven't had enough experience in the field to give accurate information out. We are careful not to assume any thing until we are positive about our answers, so we leave it up to the more experienced and qualified MA's on this board to answer.

Re: Question about site

1. Because we don't always have all the answers.
2. Because we don't visit the message board every single day.
3. Because posting is voluntary. Sometimes we feel like typing, sometimes we don't.

Yes, Suzanne, you did very good today!

Re: Question about site

Well, actually I am sitting here having been "iced in" since Friday.

We live in Oklahoma. It's too cold and icy to be out and about, so what else is there to do?

I have been spending a good deal of time on class preparations. I am the MA instructor at a school that has just opened in OKC.

Re: Question about site

It's very helpful that an MA instructor will occasionally post to this board,as well as the manager. But I too have wondered why some threads go unanswered or get ignored. You may not have the answer but you can always give your opinion,even if it's a "Gee,that's a good question,I wonder that too!". I see this on other boards, where the members will read the forum maybe once a week but not post a thought. I think many are afraid to because they have to use their username-that's something that isn't required on this wonderful site (Please don't change that,Danni!). And others may think that they may start a thread that nobody will respond to,which is embarrassing and hurtful,so they don't.
