I tend to agree with Ringin on this. I find myself posting in a few select threads, then often bowing out when they deteriorate into inane babble and bickering over nothing. I believe in making my point, or explaining my views in one or 2 posts, then sitting back and reading other comments or points of view. Sometimes I will step back in for a rebuttal, but I
usually try to keep on topic (I've made my share of mistakes here, but I do try).
That is my biggest gripe is that it is very hard to have a topical discussion when 2 or 3 others are carrying on a side conversation that has nothing to do with the thread. I'm a big fan of using the PM process to make side comments which are outside the scope of the thread topic. I wish more members felt that way.
