One of the great things about Gather is its size and the large number of people who stop by. It's like a maze. You can log in to do "a little" reading and hours later you wonder where the time went but you've had a good time in the process.
You can "stalk" someone and make the journey even more interesting. I'm sure I'm no different than others in how they read here. I'll find the comments of one of my connections intriguing and click to the ariticle and find a treasure. Out of that, I may become more interested in a particular participant's comments and click on their Gather space and read more of their material and comments which then leads me on the same journey once again. It's a very interesting trek and kind of like being behind a semi on the highway and sharing its wind.
Take Bongo, for example. I stalk Bongo for a while and find some very funny material. The same can be said of Soren (I don't know how to do the funny o) and Jackie L.
Or Liz Rice-Sosne- I stalk her and find some really thought provoking articles and debates.
Or Travis- it's always a trip to stalk Travis. He's like a kid in a candy store and he finds some pretty fascinating stuff. And he shares! He'll sock you in the arm first but he'll still share.
Ron B. I stalk Ron B. because all the other women on Gather do it and I wouldn't want to miss anything. And he's posting a great book one chapter at a time that is fantastic!
Sandy Knauer- I stalk Sandy because I know I will see some good writing and some history of Gather and some very interesting articles I probably wouldn't have seen. Also, I figure if I stalk her, I can add some tens to replace the idiotic ones she receives just for breathing. It's more of a working vacation.
Shannon is fun to stalk because I get some good recipes and she's connected to a lot of other great cooks who also share their expertise.
There are so many more for various reasons.
So, who do you stalk and why?

I'm too ADD to stalk effectively- I forget what I'm doing.
We "stalk" many of the same people, but there are many more names I would add to the list: Bart H., La Lady Lisa Westerfield, Kenneth H., Kathleen G., Charles Thiesen, Madame Donna C., Tonia G., Wendy R., Racheline Maltese, Joanne Huspek, and many more -- either their comments get my attention, or they have posted something wonderful to enjoy.
I just saw a dog chasing the chicken.
I only posted a few of my "stalkees." I have many and it's a lot of fun reading their stuff.
Dannielle- you are so right, it's like a large cocktail party!
LOL mike! Well, there's one in a row! :D
John, I'll have to follow you for a bit to get to Racheline!
Dan- on the contrary- I stalk you too. I find lots of cool photos that way!
Jennifer- that's how I found you!
Jody! Didn't you see the part where I asked "WHO do you stalk?" You are supposed to tell! :D
Hi Faith! Random is good too! You'll still see a lot of stuff out there!
Travis- OF COURSE you do! I think it's part of the Gather package!
I stalk Jackie among others. We have a standing date for stalker sunday.
You are welcome Sandy! I have a lot of laughs following you around some nights! And I enjoy your writing!
Hi Peter. Of course they will. But you have to leave to get something to get nourishment once in a while. You can't just hang around your own place or you'll become a Gather hermit. Follow Sandy for a while. I hear she gets around :D
I stalk Charles.....no wait....he is a God.....I "follow" Thee
I stalk MrBill cos he goes to cool places.
I stalk Steve The Legend because he was my first person who actually read my articles.....so I think that would give him martyr status easily.
I am totally stalking Wordz and the Blue one......I just discovered them and they are cool peeps....well the Blue One is a little people technically.
I stalk Peter.....though he does tend to be a hermit sometimes.....I am a Peter H. po'etry ho.
And Jody and Michele because they are fellow ruralsexuals.
And David Rochester.....tho it seems those stalk dayz may be over.
And now Lisa......I have my one good eye on you!! *hides in the bushes*
so many to stalk so little time
Hi La Bellota! You have some interesting reads there! A lot of fun! You can stalk me any time. I'm probably going to return the favor too! I've read your stuff and I like your spunk!
: D <---- orbitz gum smile *ding*
*bushes rustle closed*
I also stalk Selene alot. We became friends on another website and she sent me here.Her daughter is a week older than my little girl and I find it interesting comparing and talking about new mom experiences.
After that I'm all over the place. Hence how I got to your interesting article Lisa.
Hi Jenna! It really is like a maze. I'll click on something and then the next thing I know I'm way over somewhere else. Thank you for stopping by! I'll probably follow you around too!
When I have been around, I 've been pretty disgusted with the way Gather is dealing with things here and what it seems they want this place to be. My interest is waning.
Thanks for stopping by DS! You can stalk me any time!
I stalk a few for various reasons:
Walter, PS of G
Jody
Rob Appell/Chris L
I am sure there are more...... just can't think of 'em. I'll be back as they come to me.
