I actually just checked and in fact I have posted in about 75% of all threads on the first page of the completed forum.

What I meant to say was that while I visit the WIP section several times a day, I tend to visit the completed forum section once per week.

In effect, I look in on every WIP but I'm sure I miss some completed - but that's the way I use the forum.

I show my suport for members by posting approval/encouragement/suggestions/thanks for tips etc. during the building process which I think is more usefull and just as "nice" as a pat on the back after it's all done
I certainly don't think I am insulting anyone if I don't post in their thread as it is not possible/desirable to post everywhere - so let me say now WELL DONE to everyone whose thread I didn't post in

@ Tang - another important part of a WIP I think is typing clearly.

Use paragraphs and extra space between them to "lighten" the text and ease reading.

Avoiding long blocks of text encourages reading while long blocks (like yours above ) are hard to read through to the end. :*
