I would hate to be a newcomer and only get one response. I would think the more people reached out to say "Hi" or try and help, would make a person feel better about posting.
I don't know if you are refering to this site or not, as you never seem to really pinpoint some things, if you are, then I think everyone here is under the belief that we are here to "Help" people in any way we can, and from all that I read, that's exactly what everyone is doing.
As far as the mods answering a post or talking back and forth with one another, tell me one thing that is wrong with that. I would like a mod to answer my post just as much as anyone else on the forum. They give intelligent answers just like the forum members do.
It truly disgusts me that someone would come on and be mean to a newcomer or anyone else. That only causes hurt.
Sorry you're not feeling well but I think you are worrying too much about nothing.
