^^^^ Abnormal? Me doesn't think so .... any interesting thread started by a DIYer is bound to have a lot of posts. This thread was just my musing about Nick's departure over a thread .... nothing more than that .

If you have less than 4 posts each day, perhaps you just have nothing interesting to say/share. That is a pity. I would judge folks as either a narcissist, addicted, or insecure if they are concerned with the posting habits of others (it is indeed a "Karen" trait). Prove me wrong.

I very seldom post and my count/years as a member shows it. If I do, I will throw in my 2 cents and then move on. To me it is amazing the number of posts some have accumulated over the years. They must spend a lot of time at it. It also seems that years ago the content of the board was more varied and interesting, with some real characters involved and almost all of them long gone to other pursuits or interests. One of my all time favorites was the Mulholland series.

Fint, I don't think a narcissist would be concerned with the posts of others.
Someone who was addicted would, I suspect, have trouble leaving the keyboard alone.
Someone who was insecure would be driven to prove they were "right ".
In 21 years I really haven't had much to say.

Your POV might differ.

Stop updating and it will be ban-a-rama my friend.

Dog Thread, Random Pics, Rando's We Have Taken (the Skip Thread) and your build thread is all I need.

Isn’t the idea of a forum to post? I feel like I’m missing something here. I have been guilty of excess arguing, that I can admit. I’m making a conscious effort to curb that. I do enjoy conversation however. All of you bring different angles to any subject here and I enjoy that. There’s literally only a couple of members here that I don’t like to read. I refuse to block people though. I check this forum once or twice a day. Similar to The NY Times or WSJ. I like the commentary on PPOT, not parf. Parf brings out the worst in some. I know it brought out the worst in me.

Not only that but his stories put a MF's ass to sleep.

It's just a metric. You post more than some people and less than others.

I don't see the point of setting your phone to follow threads, just in order to refute the last post (arguing). If I have something to add, I will post, but hardly ever get pulled into a back/forth pissing contest !

I really gotta pick up the pace.

Someone brought up Fint. He and I disagree on pretty much everything. I probably roll my eyes the most on some of his posts. That being said, I respect the guy. He doesn’t give a crap about what anyone thinks. He says what he believes and I think that’s cool. I don’t understand what some think the purpose is for a off topic forum?

If you ever posted anything in the technical boards, you would likely have as many as I do. But, based on what I have seen, you should probably stick to your missives about dumpster diving at the local Goodwill/thrift store. The next time you have a job, give me a call and we can compare what we do.

You have an awful lot of posts to be complaining about others. I probably have 10K posts just responding to personal attacks from folks who whine about my personal life/job like you or read every post then complain they were boring enough to put a MF's ass to sleep. What exactly does that mean anyways? Is that sharing some sort of sexual deviancy or just a lack of circulation that occurs when someone's ass is too old to have proper bowl movements without assistance? Do they think their stories of ancient Ohio are any more a literary gem? Give me a break.

Exactly. The only thing wrong with your posting often is that they want to control the narrative. Haters will hate and "Karens" will Karen (try to run your life). The fact that anyone would look up your statistics to see how many time/how often you post is pretty illuminating as to their psyche. Your only problem is that you seem to care a bit about what they think.
