It always interests me why people join a Internet forum post about twice then disappear. Noticed this on this forum someone joined with a colourful username just did that.

It happens ironsky. Now't so strange as folk !
Over 90% of all computer problems can be traced back to the interface between the keyboard and the chair

Most of that sort of thing is down to spammy types joining just to get themselves a link.

Banned a couple last week actually.
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

I've noticed that as well ironsky,

 I'm never sure if they join with intentions of posting and never do, or if they want to have a look more into the 'background' of things which maybe only members can see - in other words just being nosy. It's awhile since I joined so I can't remember what non members can't see. Pete and Fly don't miss much I'm sure and as Pete says they get rid of spammers.

Then of course there are people like yourself who join and move forward to make valuable contributions to the forum  :)

The ones I find strange are the lurkers. I really don't see the point of joining a discussion forum and then not joining in the discussions? Unless of course it's for purposes of plagiarism?

You are spot on with that JR, as that definitely does happen - that is a fact!!  ;)

Rather liking Pete's new Avatar.  However, don't you think it's short of something?  That massive twinkle that bursts from the corner of the smile so white it causes snow blindness......just saying  >;

Pete, I'm sure you could Photoshop a twinkle on your Avatar  ;D
