I’m just bored… so this is just a question that popped into my head while I was tossing small dog treats to my basset hound.
I start a thread or two a week, sometimes more, but that’s my average. It’s usually something mundane or just mildly interesting, nothing too controvercial or intriguing (ok, usually a little more interesting than this thread).
So my average for starting threads is 2 to 3 a week.
Is my average higher or lower than the general group?
One or two for me. I don’t like drive-by OP’s, where the OP-er is never heard from again. But staying actively involved in a thread seems to take way too much time. Plus, I don’t seem to be able to write witty things, like most other dopers. So I think any threads I start would be boring.
I’ve started a few threads in my five weeks here, but I wouldn’t say I start one every day or anything like that! :eek: Maybe about three or four a week at most, depending.
Not many. Occasionally, the “I’d like to ask the dopers about this” thoughts reach critical mass and I start a bunch of threads at once, but that’s only happened a couple of times.
Not very often, maybe once every few weeks. With slight up and downs. Usually I’ll sit on an idea for a few days or a week before I post it and sometimes I’m saved the trouble. And it’s almost never in GQ, which is actually where I made my first post as an OP. Probably 95% of all most posts are replies.
I usually have the opposite worry. That posting a personal reply to every person in the thread might make it seem like I’m trying to hard. And if everytime they open the forum and see my name as the last post they might think no one else has responded. Silly worrys I know but I’m a worrywart sadly.
