You said it well and this will be the point of interest, unless there is some other plan to make money.

Subject lines attract your eye? You might also add the thread starter. I look for that. I tend to throw up a lot of longer post, the interesting thing is, if you look at the thread, often times you see a lot of replies from people that don't post much. I also get a lot of people at shows telling me they read it, but don't enjoy posting.

You can't always judge a thread by those who post. This is what I was trying to say when everyone was coming down on AlienQ, saying the thread worked him over; fact is, more people do not post and most judge all

One thing I can say, I have worked for two very large companies and have done some personal business with a lot of pretty large players. I have been in the room with a lot of big players (KK might be the only one that could verify such a statement, but I suppose you just have to take my word). Fact is, they all do read the boards. Fact is, they all remember those who argue and all are judged. Those who actually post account for very little.

Wasn't trying to sound egotistical with that last paragraph, I sure hope it did not sound that way.
