It's happening again.

Diggin It · May 28, 2021

This time it's on the ROPS and apple trees thread, but I've seen it on several others. Members with 5, 10, 15 or more years since they signed up, but with few if any posts. Often less than 20 posts, sometimes less than 5. It isn't a problem, but it's a curiosity as to what is drawing them back after so many years.

Possibly they have retired and have a lot more time on their hands.

Maybe their better half found their password and is checking out what really goes on here?

The next post you see like that - ask them. Such a question should upset nobody.

It's on the Pine thread too:

I "lurked" on TBN for quite a while before my first post. I had questions but nobody wants to look real stupid. Finally, I started a thread. After that it all came easy. I think it's just a lot of folks are quite shy and don't want anybody to think they are asking stupid questions. A lot of new folks don't know that they can search for a topic and find answers from many previous threads.

Some are introverts, some are extroverts.

Some are just verts.

It could be that some of them joined looking for certain information and now they need to know something else.

Maybe it is tied to the same cycle as the Cicadas......every 17 years? Maybe a different life cycle depending on the type of tractor or oil used?
