Watching but not posting

Why do this?

I must admit I glance at certain threads to see what they are about and if they don't interest me, I'll not post.
Is this why so many people register "views" but don't actually say anything?

I've had a thread going for the past five months which I finished today but I've found it sometimes strange that I see people viewing but not actually participating and I have frequently thought "why do I bother wasting my time doing this?"

Do you post and not converse, and why?

I know there are a lot of guests that can read the threads but can't post.

Re: Watching but not posting

there's so much crap around these days - it's hard to move past it!

but seriously folks wot really fascinates me is the huge number of members with pics and bios who hardly ever post at all - if they did they would be standing room only on this site!
