I often surf TCS from my phone and I'll read a thread and think that I need to go back and comment later when I am on my PC and then forget. Same thing with PM's. I'll read the PM and then days later I realize I never responded.

Anyone else guilty?

Yep. I do that all the time. Lots of times I read posts/PMs during my morning train commute, and by the time I've gotten home in the evening I've forgotten that I meant to reply.

I do that with PMs all the time. Oops! So if anyone sent me a PM and I never replied. . .sorry! It gets to the point that if you waited too long to reply you kind of get embarrassed to make a late reply.

That will happen if I get distracted. Like if I'm about to reply and the phone rings.

Yep. Do it both with threads and PMs. Glad I'm not the only one.


PS sometimes, if I think of it, I'll subscribe to the thread even if I can't reply just then, that gives me a reminder for later that I wanted to reply to it

I've done that on several PMs recently.

If it's the thought that counts I would have made at least 500 more posts! I'm just glad that the iPhone actually has a pretty decent keyboard that I can type pretty well on. Even then I still dont post as much as I want to.

Guilty as charged. Since I got my Droid, I peruse different sites more than I did. And then when I get home from work, I forget that I need to answer posts.

I don't answer PMs as promptly as I should either.
I love the Droid, but answering posts and PMs with my phone is difficult sometimes.

I do remember all the time!! Unless a "senior" moment kicks in
and I am not a senior
. I usually am pretty good about PMs but sometimes can't remember all the posts I want to return to later to check on. So many posts to attend too
I am a post jumper! And love it

I think it is a universal failing for those with busy lives, and that is most of us these days. So, sorry from me if anyone is missing an answer.
