Only way to shut me up for any length of time is put a beer in my hand except that only makes the problem worse later

The Bulletin Board is an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and have a bit of fun. Like many similar activities there will be those who just take and criticise behind the scenes. Those people are losers and in my experience will probably never change. I used to get upset about them and even had it out with them but it didn’t change them. Unfortunately for them I have given up on them.

Many of us use the Bulletin Board to expand our knowledge and try to give a little bit back and on both occasions we are rewarded.

I help out where I can but mostly I'm one of the 'chatty' ones.

Hummmm, so its you, for a minute there I thought it was someone else.

I also have to have the last word

[Wood Borer]

Silent,

I was under the impression you were happy to be a male - obviously not if you want to have the last word.

How do you do a 'lip zipped' smiley on here?

[DavidG]

Lies, Dammed lies and statistics.

Maybe too many of the 102 spend too much time making hot air instead of sawdust.

So most people lurk instead of getting involved.

But then again somewhat similar proportions of members lurk in most of the online forums.

Can we please distinguish between committed members and members who should be committed? :eek:

It 'aint broke, and don't need fixin guys

Lots of people lurk, some wind up posting, some of those wind up being active posters. All three groups contribute in their own way. Obviously if nobody posts there's nothing to read - and what's the point in posting unless someone is going to read it? Some of you guys would be seriously lost without an audience

We have a decent balance here. Definitely we should encourage the lurkers to post. Doesn't take knowledge - most of those of us who are active are so because we enjoy the banter and we enjoy being able to help when someone has a question. A newbie with a question generally gets some good help & advice - as long as we keep that way this place has a good future.

I really consider myself to be a social member. I'm not at a point yet where I can contribute on the level that some of these other characters can. I help out where I can but mostly I'm one of the 'chatty' ones.

If silentC is so 'chatty' why does he call himself silent? One of lifes little mysteries.

Hey there's a problem

The counter isn't working.
All the posts in this thread are not being recorded. Just look at anyone who has a few posts, the amount has stayed the same regardless of the amount of posts.

So who has the missin numbers????????

[gatiep]

This BB is like any other public forum or meeting. There are those that say heaps, command respect and everyone thinks are just swell.
Theres others that have a lot to say, waffle on to hear their own voice and everyone wishes would just siddown and shuddup.
Still others just seem to want to argue and denegrate anyone with a different opinion to their own
The majority sit quietly, nodding knowledgebly, and say nothing.
Perhaps the latter group took Murphy's advice, "It is better to remain silent and appear a fool, then to open it and remove all doubt"

Which group do you fall into?

I second that!!!!

I think that the way it works is that when you make a new post, all of you previous post entries are set to that number. Rather like when you change your Avatar. All of you previous posts will now display that Avatar regardless of what it was when you actually made the post.
I.E your number of posts is a function of your user profile.

Hope that makes sense.

It's the 'C' that's silent, not me
