Deleted. No-one cares.

sometimes its not about whether one of us cares. its about whether one of us can either relate and/or answer your questions safely and accurately.

I want to comment to a lot of posts, but I have nothing constructive to say, so I leave it. (sometimes I still post it ha)

Sometimes it takes a few days. Maybe you posted during a frenzy and got buried.

You'll be much better off in forum land if you don't take 0 replies personally. Be patient. Rephrase. Bump your own thread.

Like Crazy says, sometimes I want to but am not quite sure how to relay the answer in a positive, constructive way. Sometimes I feel that if I answer a post I may be "corrected" in a negative manner or I may want to answer the person posting personally on a one-to-one level. In which case I will post that I am sending a PM, then I follow through & that way the poster can ask any other questions that they may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed to ask in a public forum.

I hope that helps.

I made a post one time about fluoride content in tea and didn't get a single response.  I think sometimes people just don't want to face the truth so they avoid it  hoping it'll go away, and sometimes like was said above, people can't relate to a given subject.  I pass over most threads just because of the title.  If I can't relate I won't even open the thread, let alone post on it...

Isn't flouride good for your teeth? I don't know... either way I don't like tea. =P

And I've bumped my own threads a bunch of times (different threads) and the majority of the time I got at least one response. But I've gotten plenty of 0 replies... don't take it personally. =)

And look, you've got five replies from a non-existent post! How cool is that?

 as I understand it - flouride INGESTED is only good for GROWING teeth - that haven't broken the surface (= good for children). But once they are grown in, you only need the TOPICAL flouride (trays, toothpaste). Ingesting doesn't do any good (except as it passes over your teeth on the way down), and isn't very good for you. (i know, i know, its incredibly small doses blah blah blah)
