Re: There are only 6 active members in this forum

Let's get this straight - you don't want to follow links and you don't want
to read? It begs the question - WTF are you doing on the INTERNET? Looking
at the pictures? Oh dear... those kind of pics Zeb???

The "discourse" as you call it in this forum is garden variety with the
occasional stroke of brilliance. The articles posted are sometimes
brilliant and often amusing.

The only thing wrong with this forum is your whining about the forum. You
are not alone though Zeb. Studio and Louie (euwe) also whine about the
forum. Great company you keep there Zebby.

If you don't like Political Forum...

Regards,
CW

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.
