No apologies for being one of those posters with an addiction; I have been around on this board, and its previous iterations, for a long time.
And, I have a lot of posts, as I am:
-a retired bum
-have time on my hands to read/post here
-care about giving and receiving good info
-usually try to point the poster toward that good info, with
knowledge or opins or links, or a combo
As for the possibility that any of us might be blogging, boring, doing our best JamesJoyce stream of consciousness posting, or generally plugging up the forums with "posts", so what. It's a freakin fourm on the net, though one of the more informative, friendly car oriented forums I've read, and one of the best/most interesting Boards for good info and opins on nearly any topic, imo.
Whether there are "board lords" here is subject to opin; most boards I've perused have posters that might fit that description. There is however, a loose, but quite informed group of core posters, and there is also an eclectic group whom have met several times at meets, both public and private. That group, much like most of the core posters, have some serious regard and respect for each other, even when we have different points of view or,
disagree.
Posting per se, or post count is of no consequence, imo...offering something of some value on any topic, is. The Board remains as good as the quality of info, ideas and thoughtful opinions. For those that enjoy it or, get something from it, good. For those that drive by, or complain without adding something of value, that is your prerogative. And, like cars, art, "taste", etc., beauty & quality lie in the eye of the reader.
It is what it is.
Good Luck, Ol'Uncle mD
