I am the newest member to these boards and I have noticed that there are a huge amount of lurkers (guests) and very few members. For instance I posted something about my 40 and had over 100 people look at it and got 3 posts, two of which were mine. Now my post might not be the most interesting but it seems to be the case with most. My point of this whole thread is not to complain but to possibly entice lurkers to join these boards and share there expertise, opinions or questions with all. I like this board but more input would be great. Just my $.02. Getting off my soapbox now.

I admit I am a lurker sometimes and when I chime in it's because I can contribute. I know what you mean . I have seen some posts with hundreds of views and maybe two or three answers...........Dude.....

What tailgaterdude is mostly correct. I do see a trend where people will look and if they don't have the answer they wont respond. Not much that can me done. Sorry to disappoint but I'm just keeping it real.

I'm sure that there are plenty out there that can't provide anything or maybe had the same question but I know that there are some that can but won't for whatever reason. That's fine. It's there choice. I just think this is a great message board and could be better with more participation.

IMHO, bad intel is worse than no intel.  Therefore, I only post on the topics where I can be useful(Unless it's a BS thread, which is rare, here).  Few things are more aggrivating than an ignorant smart a$$, when you need honest help with a project.
