It's funny. sometimes I'm reading a thread and somebody posts on it and I see they have been here for 10 years or more and only have a couple hundred posts.
I guess I'm one of them. I wonder how many guys are like me and read a lot of the posts but don't post very much?

Hundreds probably?

Just a bored observation on a Friday.


Grammar is important.

A few years ago, there was a movement on the part of some of the real members to not permit posting by anyone until he (or she) had at least 1,000 posts. Perhaps that enters in. grin

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

I have found that I don't need to express My opinion on every subject.

One usually finds out later in life that you learn a lot more with your ears open, and your mouth shut.
That's why we have two of one, and one of the other.

Probably a good thing if that number is not too high.
It's good to have a life.

That goes right along with " why not keep your mouth shut and let someone think you are an idiot instead of opening your mouth and proving it."

I visit the fire almost every day. Sometimes only read a few posts that catch my eye. Mostly just here for entertainment and the free beer.

Yes, no doubt hundreds and even more. Many folks read regularly but do not post much, or at all - one of my friends say he is "lurking" - and that seems quite normal. A high post count means just about zero. Quality is a good measure - quantity, not so much.

I don't drink much anymore. That is the reason for my low post count.

And some people just like to hear themselves talk (post).
Post count is pretty meaningless to me, except if I want to buy something out of classifieds here, I look at post count. A person with 1,2,10 or so posts won't get my money.

Will Rodgers once said "Never miss a good chance to shut up!" Guess I didn't follow his advice...
