Cuddles,
I really don't think you've offended anybody. I don't see how anyone could be offended by your question, since it's a very valid point. I agree with everyone that time zones, the number of people posting and other factors do come into play, but there's also one other that nobody mentioned and that's that a lot of times, the person being congratulated will respond saying thank you, and that bumps it back up when it may have been at the bottom, and then people who may not have been on the day it was posted now have an opportunity to see it and then it goes down further, and then they say thank you again, and it bumps it back up... that's not to say that saying thank you is wrong, though. Please don't misunderstand me! I'm just saying that that's one reason why a certain post might be up longer than others. That, and I've seen some people who say thank you after every or every other response, and so that will bump up the number of responses as well. Yes Cuddles, there are many many many factors that contribute to people getting congratulated and it's not all about popularity like Katy said. Congratulations on your 26 days... you're more than 1/2 way to the Cruise Ship! Way to go!
Crave the Quit!
Pam
