19. The number of reads is VERY misleading.

To be fair, that number is overinflated. Every time someone posts, it "counts" as two reads. Every person who posted, likely came back and read a few responses...more "reads." I really wish it only registered one read per person to give a more realistic idea of the number of people who actually read threads. I have visited this one thread probably 20-30 times, and each time it registered as a "read."

I do wish more would chime in, but I have been contacted via PM and some are afraid to say anything, some just don't want to be "aggravated". Completely understandable given the nasty comments we see. I will say for those reading this, if you are concerned, but don't want to be "outed," you may PM me or "abq e streeter". I understand not everyone may feel the same, and this is also OK, but if you do, and you are hesitant to comment, you have another option; though, I will say, please speak out, you have support here.
