But back to my point. Perhaps this is a central difference in posters from pre and post migration? Some are used to a constant stream-of-thought type thread where it's more like a real-time conversation you'd have in a bar with someone, vs a slower paced, sort of posting. Not to judge either, because both are valid, but perhaps thats the style difference we're all trying to figure out. Some are looking for a thread where you post once or twice a day in which you read a thread, and put all your ideas into a single response and wait 24hrs for other posters to read and respond, where others are looking for the constant conversation type of thread where one-liners are thrown back and forth like you would with a buddy in RL? I don't want to sound negative about that type, maybe someone who's in that mind set would do a better job of describing it aptly. But the best short description I can come up with:
Short posts, ongoing, conversation-at-the-bar type posting
vs
slightly longer, slower paced, read and reaction type posts?
I dunno, just throwing it out there. Does this click with anyone?
Again, I'm in no way saying either is better, but perhaps this might help some of us understand where the others are coming from?
*ERdit* and for the record Rats, I don't enjoy icing on cakes either. too much sugar!
