Why does anyone post here?
I would personally answer that question by saying there's a broad range of topics discussed, and I can cherry pick which ones I want to discuss. I doubt I'd get to have a discussing about Lucinda Williams vs. Ace Frehley or a discussion of Vermont beer if I limited myself to talking with people I work with. Ok, maybe I would, but they'd likely be humoring me rather than having a true interest.
Over my time of posting, I've also met a handful of people that I'd call "acquaintances" and another handful I'd call "friends". Though I didn't join the board with the hope of expanding my social circle, I'm happy that that has been a byproduct.
Wait, what was the question?
answering a question with a question...that is your MO
I'll go first and say: my point is to get you to reveal the inner workings of your mind, what makes you tick and mostly why are you so filled hate
