I remember posting a few pics and then having them buried a few weeks ago. It was fine, I had a few comments, so that was cool. But I was thinking, what if I had been posting 5 individual shots to tell a short story and then my "story" was separated or interposed with someone else dropping a lot at the same time. I agree with those who have commented already. I may take 20-30 pics and post 2 or 5. If something is not quite right or what I deem as worth sharing, they get deleted and are gone.

When I come to the site, I usually check the forum first, then go over to latest photos and try to find the last picture I remember from my previous visit and move toward current time.

Of course if there is a new dio, that comes first of all! But please keep up the good work everyone!! I don't want to frustrate any one away.

On a tangent, but somewhat related topic, someone was kind to let me know after I posted my very first pic in the dios section that the photos section was separate and how to select the right selection. I have tried to pay that forward to new members, as this is just a pet peeve to some and annoyance to others. Someone was kind to me, and I stuck around. So I try to do that for others instead of blasting them away.

Courtesy and tact are surely diplomatic qualities that can help each of of us in ALL of our interpersonal interactions, not simply in our online community.
