I agree. The sense of community in these forum is what draws me to participate; normally I don't like posting things online. Having said that, though, I do try to post things I find interesting on google+ every now and then. (Though in practice that turns out to be once every few months, which is probably too infrequent to be significant.) T -- There is no gravity. The earth sucks.
