I agree that you're not the only person here who posts a lot.  Both Occhi and DeeBye seem to have some self awareness about that, and as a result I trust them to monitor themselves more often than not.

I know that I post a lot of topics, but I usually try to add a lot of "beef" to them. Instead of just a link and a single-sentence comment, I try to add other stuff like relevant pictures and researched information. Above all else, I try to make sure that my topics are entertaining and/or informative to read. Go ahead and check out my recent thread topics and decide for yourself.

The whole tone of a thread is set by the initial post. If the initial post isn't interesting due to lack of content, it might as well never have been posted. Lots of Doc's recent topics are simple link+comment or link+quote. I've probably been guilty of this practice, but I try to keep it to a minimum. That's a lazy way to initiate conversation.

Here is an example. Buck Owens

I have no idea who Buck Owens is, and I still don't. Consequently, I don't really give a flying fart that he died. Doc had an opportunity to make it very clear to us why Buck Owens was an important person and why his death should be mourned, but he failed.

To Doc: I didn't intend to be this harsh towards you, but I am being as honest as I can. You are a smart guy and your topics can be better if you put more effort into them.
