Above the line, I am most likely to open threads about vocals, about songs I am interested in, or folklore topics. And I LOVE reading through the "Origin" threads regarding songs-even a song I have never heard tell of. It's like sitting at the feet of the Masters. Sometimes, I'll search for posts made by certain people, especially people like Q and Jim Dixon, because whenever they post, it is educational and informative, and a great history lesson.   I'll open tech threads if it is an issue I have had problems with, or just to read John's informative posts--which are often waaaay over my head, but even if I only get 1 little piece, I have learned that much from some one who obviously knows what they are talking about.

Below the line--well--my feeding habits have changed a good bit.

I just deleted a long paragraph about all the threads I don't read anymore.

I tend to open threads that call for congratulations, support or condolences, threads that look fun, the story threads, or threads on apparently non-political topics about which I have either an informed opinion and/or about which I am curious to learn more.

I now avoid threads where people tend to tilt at windmills, lest I be tempted to tilt at people who tilt at windmills.

I also try to avoid threads heavily populated by posts from the very few on this forum who are terminally self-righteous, who are sure anyone who disagrees with them are part of the 'Axis of Evil,'---------- and/or are absolutely closed systems. -----

Don't know what I did to cause all the dashes to suddenly appear.
