Yes. It's also why many long time members only have a post or two here or left long ago.
You are right about the regulars. When you see the same people year after year posting evey waking hour then you realize this is a way of life for some and it is not something we need to actively get envolved with as it will simply lead to nothing good for you. For God's sake, some here have 15000 to 40000 posts, think about it, and when you scan their posting history it really is almost every waking hour. So, there is a segment of the population to whom the forums are vitally important for whatever reason, probably social or physical isolation. Add to that a certain anti-social tendency brought on by too much focus on the computer day after day and this explains some of the more snarky ones. I suppose it is a sickness that could be healed only by removing yourself from this environment and particpating only on a very limited basis.
Now, that will not happen for most and their numbers increase year to year so it gets worse and that will just have to be okay because they will not change no matter who repeats your post and I've seen it repeated many times during the years I've been a member here. So, just pick out what interests you, post sparingly if you dare and try not to stay too long.
Some show their sickness even when they do only post on a very limited basis and do not know when to remove them self from this environment.
