Seems we all agree to post clear, mature, and relevant content, and I agree as well. However, I sometimes like to break my own posting etiquette just to change it up. I may "fire and forget" a random topic or reply to try and start conversation. Or, worse, ask a simple question that I could find by searching for (likely less welcome) conversation. What do you all think of stepping outside the etiquette envelope just for fun?

Regarding why we keep coming back, I think it's another interesting lesson in Internet psychology. In my case, I like semi-dry technical talk (as unhealthy as that may be) which I actually understand. That sort of conversation sinks like a stone in real life social settings, but seems warmly encouraged on this BBS. Currently, I forget the other interesting Internet psychology examples from this BBS, but there are many.
