@bobsal u1553115,
But, you know ... sometimes even without a reply, these inactive posts could be still read and understood; thus, they very well could pique one's interest in the topic. Because someone does not have a comment should be no grounds to assert that, therefore, they are worthless.
Indeed, these forums are indicative of our collective mindset. Just because there is no comment does not mean that that topic is not thought about, and sometimes even in rather profound ways. For example, some people on here think that David Lyga should be a 'tombstone', but there are actually people who listen to what he has to say. - David Lyga
