Who reads this stuff, anyway?

[sandGroundZero]

How many readers of these forum threads above and beyond those who trouble to post?

• a small number of individuals do a very large proportion of contributions;
  which of course, is fine. Still,
• a consequence seems to be that posters are acquainted with their fellow posters largely to the extent that they can anticipate others' reactions.

Do we love a barney?

Doubtless another predictable reaction: yes...

I read the majority of the threads even if they don't actually interest me. I do occasionaly start a thread. Participate on the word association & A-Z game daily (which seems to keep Qlocal going).
The only posters i have met is Grassroots & John Nolan, otherwise they are strangers to me, but i feel i can call them 'friends'

Do we love a Barney? Yes, pretty much. Personally I can vehemently disagree with folk on, say, politics, but completely agree on other topics. A bit of a Barney keeps the place going.

I read a lot of the threads, but there are some where I don't feel I've much of a contribution to make. Or I simply don't know enough on the subject. I know bugger all about building on flood plains, for eg.

I think we sometimes get stuck in 'squabble' mode. First to hold my hand up there . Other times it's entertaining.

Reading a few threads of interest to me, my impression is that a small number of individuals do a very large proportion of contributions; which of course, is fine. Still, a consequence seems to be that posters are acquainted with their fellow posters to the extent that they can anticipate others' reactions. Much of the forum content is predictable squabbling.

Speaking as a professional antagonist, yes it does add a bit of spice to the day.

Anyway, you seem to enjoy your own input, so based on the reason for this thread - is that also for the purpose for an argument?

Try starting a cycling thread - and see what happens!

I am going to say it; I am suspicious of SandgroundZero. 260+ posts in just over 8 weeks, weird fonts and displaced smilies... all very odd if you ask me.

Picking up on what ChrisR has said, I agree that a few of my fellow posters feel like friends to me which is bizarre as I don't actually know anybody and it is more than likely I have walked right past some in the street!

All you need to makes friends is to declare adulation of leftist politics.
The rest of us are just like strung conkers.
