I think that there may be several different reasons that people do not post but just read. Maybe they are afraid of sounding stupid or feeling like they arent accepted when their posts are overlooked. Maybe they really dont have anything to say on the topic when they get into it....who knows...

Why I don't post much, is a lot of times the thread title has nothing to do with the subject. Also, sometimes the thread gets hijacked so by time you read it, the original subject is no longer being discussed. Or else the tone is nasty and I don't want to get pulled down to that level.
Well I know I have been guilty of all you have said. Guess it is human nature to get side tracked in conversation. People also tend to be very blunt and out spoken. Some could say it makes a person look bad. When others would said those people are boldly honest. Guess more could be said in private email. But than it becomes more personal as in one on one. Some people just like to be silly a joke around. I see no harm in that. Doesn't mean they are less of a person or nasty. i love to joke around and not take life so seriously all the time, Doesn't mean I am not a very nice person to know. All I am saying is an open mind is one that is forever learning. Very strong points you made. Thank you for sharing...
No offense was meant...and I certainly hope none was taken...but you asked why some of us read a lot...and post not...just being honest about my own feelings...and reasoning...
i didnt at first because I was a bit intimidated...it looked a bit "cliquish" and I think alot of people get that impression but it didnt take long to get over that....this a very warm and welcoming community in fact. Ive found so much here. learned a bit about people, learned ALOT about myself. and Ive learned that no matter what...someone out there has it worse now imagine if EVERYONE who has an account posted regularly? how many accounts do you suppose there are here? could be chaos.

only a few of the many post?
Are we living in a world where people
are primarily shy?
Nothing wrong with being shy or quiet.
I have my moments.
Just wondering...
