I play no instruments but sing my heart out daily. The song I sang with Bill Sables and AllanC and Beaudangles at the Espresso Corner was the first I'd ever sang for strangers. What I like about this community is that everyone is into music in some fashion or other, and that gives all of us a sense of belonging to a community where we share an interest, which just makes it likely that we share others too. That likelihood is what leads me, at least, to start discussions that might not be musical in nature, like the Mutations one. I do try to make my headline clear, and (given the tone of this thread) will stop using BS to signal NonMusicality. Also my original question/whatever tells y'all what I'm about.
I also like to print long threads to read later, but I don't do it without at least clicking in and reading the opening post. At THAT point I decide to print or not, not from just the title. If loading is taking too long I can alt-Tab over to do something else while it loads (I rarely turn on the computer JUST to 'cat around in the mud'). If the opening post bugs me too much, I click Back and go on. If it's just bugging me a little, I'll usually answer. I do, however, try to insert music into my nonmusical posts - I wanted to see what people thought about the Human Genome project so I did it as a Song Challenge. That one kind of backfired as I didn't get a good idea of what people think about the project, but I did get some great yuks!
