"I have concluded that there is too much usage of pronouns in our responses to each other. "

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

AMEN! I appreciate your entire analysis. I find myself re-reading my posts, and often before posting, will realize that I said "it", or "he" or "she" ..... and needed to supply a referent noun.

I think what happens, is while we are forming the wording for a post, in our own heads, in order to get a thought down, we will use pronouns internally and write them because of the ease of their shorthand..... but the pronouns just don't translate outside of our heads in the disjointed surroundings that thread posts necessarily are.
