Why should I remain here? Tell me more!  
You people seem to be astute and well-read.

Obligatory Note to the Newbie: This isn’t the correct forum for this. You should have posted this in IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) to get a response. Expect it to be moved soon.

OK, you should stay here if you want to contribute to a very active debate/discussion/question-answering group of fora. The people here are very astute and well-read, and they are also rather kind and very patient with newbies. Perhaps the best reason to stay here can be found by lurking and reading threads without necessarily posting to them. If you want to post, we encourage you, but read forum descriptions first.

Since the original post doesn’t seem to be a specific comment on a Straight Dope column, this thread is leaving the «[**Comments on Cecil’s Columns**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?forumid=1)» forum and going to visit my colleague **slythe** in the «[**In My Humble Opinion**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?forumid=12)» forum.

I’m here for whatever reason you say I’m here. If I wasn’t, then why would you say I was?
