i monitor several forums on a daily basis just to see what is interesting in the world of microsoft and hardware. I am not one to have much to say in the forums as i am just wandering around listening to what others have to say, catching a tidbit of useful information here and there. in my forum adventures, i am finding that people just want to be heard. it's not that they have anything useful to say, more in that they just want to have their typing voices heard. for someone like me, who is listening in, it is difficult to get to the meat of the subject for all the chattering going on off subject. this leads to my point. posting just for the act of posting, sucks. it cloggs the avenues of real discussion and makes it difficult to find the destination. if you must comment, then make it relevant.
