It's not about you

Why do people post comments telling their stories on a thread someone else started about their own store. It seems whether it's a birth story or other story people are inclined to tell their story. That thread was started by the OP to tell their story. Unless asked to share, the thread wasn't about someone else's.

Same with pictures. The thread was started to share a cute picture of OP's child, not get a series of pictures of other people's children (unless asked to share).

Sorry. Mini rant.
