I don't post because I have nothing to say. How about you?


You seem to be breaking your own rule. Yes, I do appreciate the irony.

I don't post frequently because I find that writing as a form is oppressive because making myself understood is nontrivial. Its not so much that I cannot write clearly, as much as it is that raw form of the ideas that I choose to express requires much more refinement to be intelligible to a wider audience than just myself. I would also argue, though not vehemently, that my process for posting is more time consuming than most if not all of you. Ergo, finite time frames leads to fewer posts.

Bill Dungsroman was that supposed to be rhetorical or were you just appreciating my mad image posting skills?
