Re: There are only 6 active members in this forum

I don't think you get it. Shot gun posting of numerous articles you
find on the internet kills discourse. It doesn't encourage it. Just
witness the LACK of discourse on this forum. 80-90% of the posts
aren't responded to. Dozens and dozens of posts with just a link to an
article or a link with a terse comment about it. Then we have to go to
the article, read it, figure out what the OP is trying to comment on
and reply? No fun. No thanks. I wouldn't mind it once in a while, but
thats almost all there is here. And THATS why there are so few active
posters. All of the "discourse" is buried under article postings.

This is constructive criticism. Take it or leave it.
