From time to time, I'll browse through the forums for something I can participate in. One of the following usually happens:
1. The post is some kind of game I have no interest in.
2. The post is interesting, and I have a thought I'd like to share about it, but then after reading all the responses, I discover someone has already said what I wanted to say.
3. I think, okay, maybe I'll post a thought into one of these threads that has hundreds of responses already. People obviously don't care about repetitive answers. And then I think, what's the point? Who actually reads them when there are hundreds of replies?
So I end up posting nothing. I want to offer something meaningful, but always end up feeling like no one really cares what I have to say. And yet I want to participate. Like I said, it's a stupid dilemma. Any of you feel the same way?
