[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] EastBeast It was then that I realized that I should only post when I could add constructively to a discussion. Since then, I have lurked. In the past year, I have posted only a few times (almost all in the un-stickied networking thread) - because I knew what I was talking about where others didn't. A discussion has no need of echoes, or flattery, or posturing. We have the entire internet and linking to it is as easy as can be. Posts should stand on merit, on content, not the number of people who quote it or say that it was well written. So, be silent and speak only when you believe what you have to say will enlighten others.[/quote] Even after 2 years of doing that, there's almost no point in the long run. It's like pouring out a bucket of water from a lake once a week. There's not enough incentive to constantly post on a non-regular basis with replies that have some thought put in them.
