In a lot of posts here at llp I see that most people only bother to read the first post, there are threads here with dozens of people saying the same thing over and over because they didn't read what the people before them allready posted.
I agree with you that this is one of the rare threads that has an actual discussion in it. |
I also agree with this... and I don't really have anything to say about it that hasn't already been said  |
That in itself could very well be the reason why discussions fail. If everyone just said "that guy already said what I wanted to say" then no message board would ever be active. Have your own opinion, damnit! _________________ Come visit Shattered Abstracts! (Photoblog!) |

It's hard to join in on a discussion when everyone has already said the same thing you want to say. Sometimes there will be a topic that interests me so I'll read through it, and then I'll just stare at the screen for 10 minutes trying to come up with soemthing else to say. I don't want to waste peoples' time by repeating other people.
Sometimes I'll look at a topic and not know what to say, and then I'll go back to the topic later when I finally do have my own opinion. That topic about te Z-machine melting a diamond or whatever is a good example of that happening... Sometimes the topic can be dead though  _________________ _________________
