Thanks for the post Ed. TR's are one of the few (and lately, only) reasons I get on this thing, mainly as a source of information to those places where little or no information exists. Better then a guide book. The views count is usually many times higher then the comments. I view just about all of the TR's (yours even when they're on some obscure choss pile) unless the places are already written up or that I know. I post TR's to hopefully give useful information more then anything else. Otherwise, this site usually consists of off-topic crap from the same 28 posters.............

Good post Ed. TR's are the best. It is frustrating to see them fade away so quickly.
A Cali TR will almost always get more attention around here. It seems counter intuitive, since you would think Cali climbers would want to see and comment on stuff from outside their region.
Ed, I can't recall you ever posting to one of my TR's. I post to almost every TR, even if I don't have much to add. I just want the author to know that I appreciate their effort and give it a bump back to the front page. I even want the n00bs to have some encouragement.
Keep 'em coming any way we can.

Hi Ed,
I read all the trip reports, but rarely reply. It is mostly because I do not have much to say. I love to hear about people's adventures and they encourage me to get my butt out the door and have some of my own. I hope that people understand that trip reports are highly leveraged- probably read by 100 or more for each reply. This forum has a LOT of lurkers like me who value it highly but don't often get involved with the arguments.
Keep up the good work!!
All the best,
Michael
