1. I go through my GD phases
...although the last one garnered mostly "hey, you're not a dingbat!" responses, so I've rather painted myself into a corner, thoughtful-dialogue-wise. :)

2. We do. And those who don't post lurk more than you are aware.
It's just that we are comfortable posting here. We know each other and it's fun. Why don't a lot of you post in the Lounge?

7. In GD..
I've always tended to read more than post--I'm hesitant to comment on any issue that I haven't fully mulled over. I do that in person too, I guess that's just one of my traits.

During election season, you'll see me in GD: Politics quite a bit..but I'm taking a break from that.

Then, lastly I come online mostly to relax so I enjoy the comic-relief of the lounge. :)

10. Actually, I find myself in GD more and more lately...
...since PlameGate seems to be breaking there's more of a unified, good feeling in GD than the "turn on your own" feeling that I felt after the 2004 election.

11. Not enough time.
GD is a place for analysis, rather than "Hey! Check out this picture of my cat drinking out of the toilet!" And analysis takes time, which I usually don't have. I can do quick posts, but usually nothing long.

13. I seldom post in GD
I usually stay in the lounge or in some of the groups. Too many discussions I've lurked on turn into attempts to twist another posters words. I don't like games like that and won't play. I do like to discuss things on a reasonable level, and respect the opinions of others who do the same.

I also enjoy cake.
