I don't post nearly as much as some around here.  It's got less to do with anxiety and more to do with not having much worth saying.  Plus I'm not as knowledgeable about a lot of stuff and I don't like showing off my ignorance.  I do like making the occasional snarky remark tho.

I feel far more comfortable here than other prog sites. Too often elsewhere I can give an opinion and get a response that makes it clear that not only am I wrong for thinking so but insulted at the same time for being a dullard. The vast majority of time here, responses are helpful, polite,knowledgeable and sometimes funny. And at times we get into some very intelligent discussions. These sort of discussion groups  are made of all sorts of ages and levels of knowledge - and we mustn't  forget are there are folks here new to prog and wanting to learn. So I try to inform when I have knowledge to offer and try to avoid being superior - most  times I hope I succeed.

A number of things cause me anxiety, but posting on internet forums is not one of them.

I dont post as much as I used to. Maybe I've said everything that I'm going to say about bands I like, and I've long since given up commenting on bands that I dont like, as there seems little point to that. I dont have the time or inclination to write blogs, attempting the disect the pysychology of prog rock. It's only music. F***ing good music, but just music nonetheless.

I have vague memories of this forum being more of a humouress place when I first joined, but maybe I'm imagining that..
