Does this affect how you answer other future posts?
Does it matter to you or are you relaxed about it?

AJ said:I first joined in 2007 when I was planning my first camino, the Camino Mozarabe and VdlP. At that time not many members of the group had done either of these routes and I didn't get much info.
As for people who ask and run, I have no problem with this. This is after all primarily a place where people seek information.
If I were not still interested in doing more and different routes, I would probably not be here.

I think I fit the three year theory more or less: it is now almost three years since I left home to walk the Camino. And I am not here so often...Rebekah Scott said:Someone did a study. The average pilgrim has a "lifespan" of three years: from the time he hears about the camino and decides to explore the possibility, until the time he actually does it, to the time he signs off the board and goes on to pursue other interests.
