Happens frequently but not often enough. i get addicted to surfing through all the messageboards I’ve joined and end up making posts just for the hell of it. Sometimes I manage to stop myself from making a tit of myself, sometimes I dont.
I stop the post whenever the parrot on keyboard inserts more errors then I can correct. This happens most in midafternoon ( he is no night owl). I also delete posts when the parrot’s typing is faster then mine. Let him cough up his own five dollars.
Funny thing is that I just composed an entire new thread and then just decided that even though it was in MPSIMS it was just too uninteresting to share.
HA! I finally got the gumption to post the stuff I almost posted. And on preview, I see you posted there - is it about the singing Mexican workers? I wanna hear that one.
Is this irony? Posting about talking about posting stuff you almost didn’t post in a thread talking stuff you almost posted but didn’t. I think I wrote that the right way.
I’d say about 90% of them don’t make to the submit button. Imagine what my post count would be if they did! :eek:
Well, let’s see. I’ve popped in here almost every day since sometime in 1999 and I think I’m up to 300 posts, or so. I almost always have something I COULD add, but I only post if I think I will add something unique. Most of the time, even if I have something to say, I’m more interested in reading what you all have written than in taking the time to post myself. This post is a perfect example of the type of reply I seldom make. But heck, it’s Monday and it’s spring and I have the day off.
Or, to summarize, most if not all of my piffle remains unposted.
I do this a lot because it’s so time-consuming, and the hamsters are slow.
Fairly often; but not often enough.
I find this topic interesting considering that, as a newbie, I’m trying to find the middle ground. So far, I’m guessing I should probably shut up when I don’t. Eww, that’s a hard slap of self-realization. But it’s sometimes hard to fight my general tendency to want to be heard or the nagging desire to say something memorable, like this:
Love it. 
Whatever! (ok, he’s my husband, I can say that.)
Three words to the original question:
Not often enough.
Unfortunately, I tend to go right ahead and post, to a fault. I have sometimes thanked the hamsters for eating my posts!
Best guess - 25% of the time. Like FairyChatMom, I’m usually pretty sure I’ve got something to contribute before I hit “reply.” Occasionally I’ll be pounding away at a response, and somewhere along the line it occurs to me that it isn’t worth the typing.
I probably wouldn’t submit this post if this wasn’t the thread it is.
I stop myself from posting often. Everytime I see an OP of real interest to me, by the time I get through reading the thread, someone or the other has posted what I intended to respond. Since it’s almost always worded better than my post would have been, I just sigh and move on to another thread.
When it comes to game threads, I probably should abstain more.
Wow. I said something memorable? Thanks!
