Nothing new to contribute.

[Packhound]

Friends, I need help. I have been a member here for about 3 years and as you can see I am not a frequent poster. Not that I don't have anything to say (just ask my family and co-workers), but I find that I don't usually feel that I have anything new to add. I greatly enjoy being a part of this great group and frequently comment to others about how friendly ya'll are. (Even in comparison to some of the Boy Scout forums.) Am I wrong to withhold comment just because I cannot add to the conversation?

I don't see anything wrong with lurking. I mostly lurk these days and am not really all that active anymore. Just post or reply when you feel like it.

Best wishes!

That is not a problem at all. Many of us, after being here a while, just sit back and watch what is going on, making an occasional comment when the subject is either of interest or to clarify/correct what someone else has said. I find myself in that position more now that I am fully involved in getting the Clan MacLea (Livingstone) Association off the ground and running.

Its a free world, well this part of it anyway.If you are happy doing things your way, then who are we to argue?

[dfmacliam]

If you feel there is nothing to contribute, then don't, but no reason not to greet the newbies or comment on the opinions aked, or photos posted... you see there are plenty of places you can contribute, if you really wanted to, but it all depends on if you feel up to it or not... but remember, you are part of the family, and always welcomed to do as you like..

That is absolutely ludicous. You should post every time you log on. If you have less than 1500 posts, you are not fullfilling your obligation as a member.

Now that I have everyone's attention, please disregard the above in it's entirety.

One of the great things about this forum is we are free to be who we are. We can post as much or as little as we like. If you don't think you have anything of value to add to a thread, don't post.

As you are probably aware, many members (myself included) will post things that are at best, very remotely kilt related. This stems from the desire to share our lives with our online friends. Some of these posts have little or no value as far as kilting is concerned but they somehow connect us with each other.

Please feel free to post as often or as rarely as you feel comfortable doing. You are welcome here.

There is nothing wrong with posting an "I agree" type of post. Ask any politician if they would prefer to win by one vote or a thousand votes.

No harm in lurking. I probably view twenty threads for every one that I post on, much more often than not I don't post as I have nothing worthwhile to add.

[KiltedKnome]

I'm mainly a lurker -- enjoy it and post as you wish.

[ForresterModern]

I have nothing to contribute to this thread so I am just going to sign off now.

Right.


Anybody who knows me knows I can probably find an opinion about anything I have some knowledge about, and occasionally somethings I have NO knowledge about. Lurk, learn, chime in when you feel like it, but never feel that you have nothing "new" to say or contribute, as there is probably not as much "new" stuff being said a lot of the time around here, often just some old repeats and rehashed issues. But think of some questions you might have and post them for others to ponder. Or, hey, you have two kilts listed, how about some pictures? Lastly, as Big Mikey said there are a lot of folks who have made some great friendships onthis board, without ever seeing each other's faces except maybe in photos. I know I have.

You are a member of the kilted community. Just wearing them, and hanging out here is more than a lot of folks can do.

You can also join some of the social groups which may interest you more specifically, and contribute to the threads there where things are slightly less public.

Anyway, nice to finally hear from ya'!!
