If I'm stepping on any of the moderators toes, it is not my intent to do so, but I just have observed this more so recently and felt I needed to post this.

There are many on here that put a lot of time into doing readings, offering advice, etc., but I've come to realize lately why some of the folks leave.

There are times, and I've been guilty of this myself, that someone will offer their generosity of time and effort, but some of the people responding to their thread don't read what they have written about how many sitters they are taking or whether or not the thread is open.

Two cases in point:

LexusVirgo wrote on her thread recently that she wasn't taking any new readers until she got caught up with the requests she already received, but a number of people didn't bother to read that and respect her time.

LexusVirgo just posted another thread today asking those, who hadn't received their readings yet from a previous thread, because she couldn't find it, to post there, but a number of people who already had readings jumped on her thread and asked for another one. Please be respectful of her time or she may get burned out and disappear like so many of the others.

And to tell you the truth I do feel a lil burned out because doing readings takes energy. So I been taking breaks hear and there. But your concern for me means a lot to me Ty spring. you are a sweetheart .

I have felt the same way over the years. I think the rule of thought has been going that way--"me" instead of "we". I have seen some great support here on some of the exchange threads, though, but maybe the difference is the "young" soul versus "old" soul. Thank you for the kind words LexusVirgo. All the best with your studies. I spent 7 years part time and full time before finishing my college studies. The amount of reading required can be mentally straining in itself--brain hurts.
