An excellent topic Vaskez. I've often wondered why I look at the threads I do.
For example, why did I look at this thread? 1) It was short. I hate having to read through 10 pages of stuff (even really interesting stuff) to just add a sentence or two. 2) I haven't seen you post a topic in a while, and I was curious as to what you were posting about. 3) I find myself drawn to topics asking questions. Somehow, I feel that if someone asks a question, I should try and answer. These aren't the only criteria I use, but these three serve me well. Sometimes my choices are more random. I don't usually peruse the board thinking to myself "what do I feel like reading today." Instead I find myself looking at each thread and saying "yeah" or "nay." And I always try to follow the threads I post in. So I'll be checking this one tomorrow Thanks for a good discussion. ------------------ Most Subtle Official Straightman of the Laughing Hyenas -- Grammarian Brigade.

Click,read,think,reply or not. I like absorbing the writing of other people, whether its serious or ridulous and I usually reply based on how I'm feeling at the moment. Some topics draw me in more than others though, but if I have time I'll read as much as I can!

Well, actually several things: the topic, who posted it, how many replies, and how much time I have.

Thanks for answering that girls and boys
Another interesting question is why there are so many members who never post. I mean there are over 2000 members IIRC yet only about 50-100 post regularly. |

I usually read a thread if it's started by someone I like. Or if it's a newbie, or someone who's desperate for help. Sometimes it's just roulette, I click wherever my mouse stops
