Please pardon the interruption by a long-time lurker, but what this site really needs is an "I Know Everything Forum". The way it would work is that, when someone enters that forum, they are the only one there, of course! No need for other opinions when you already know everything! You could state the Truth as you know it, and then comment on what a remarkably superior intelligence you have, and then praise yourself for such a cogent comment. And then maybe us "great unwashed" could at least exchange our mistaken, ridiculous opinions with each other in a somewhat civil fashion! Sheeesh and some people wonder why some of us usually choose to just lurk.......happy holidays, peace on earth, I'm back to keeping my mouth shut! Maybe in this season of miracles we should be praying for thr reappearance of Makers Muppet to bring us back together??????

With this type of post you're only a lurker. Come on! Join the insanity.

I have a hint for you. If you can't take things head on drink or do drugs like the rest of us. That makes most of us palatable to each other even when we're hammering one another.

Lock this dude up before he hurts somebody.

Not everyone hears voices in their heads like you do. Oh wait, obviously I live in your head like I do in clothy's and 8893's. Check thay, you ARE clothy! Shouldn't you be on a umess board worshipping calimari?

Thanks, I chime in once in awhile! Being on the left coast, I'm often "late to the party" and often already see my basic opinion stated. Posting just to say "me too" seems like a waste, so I usually keep my mouth shut and I find I often learn more by listening! But I have been an AVID lurker on the Boneyard for years and years, through lots of incarnations. I still find it an invaluable resource on a wide variety of topics, when you sort through all the hot air and bluster! Oh and BTW, I have to take drugs just to lurk!!!!

Yep even lurkers need to make their way to Washington State!

Sometimes I read lots of posts and write nothing. Other times I deliberate and then write some in depth post. Sometimes I think about things and write something a little bit controversial which will stimulate ideas or help us understand one another better. And some times I just like to have fun and just shoot from the lip.

If your goal is only to learn, than observing is certainly going to give you the most knowledge. I don't agree with your contention that when ideas are already expressed and you feel you are just repeating someone else, your contribution would be redundant. It isn't. People have different styles. Each poster has preferences of styles they prefer. So if you express an idea that someone else already posted, your style may resonate with someone that the first poster didn't.

Furthermore when you put your thoughts into writing you give yourself the opportunity to know if you really understand things.

And at some point in time the exercise might become fun. For those of us who have posted a long time new blood is always welcome. It fits under the expression the more the merrier.

Thanks once more Fleud! I will try to speak up more often! But I must admit, with all the vitriol here lately, that "new blood is welcome" is a bit scary!! I will take the opportunity to tell you that I always enjoy your posts here, you tend to be rational and see both sides of issues and that isn't too common around here! Happy holidays!
