Hi there, OP! I'm that guy who always likes your posts (and those of quite a number of guys) in that one thread!
All cheekiness aside, from what I see, you have a good grasp of how to "read the room" here. Creating this thread, whether you know it or not, has the following effects:
- It allows us to see a more nuanced version of you.
- It fosters a sense of community here, regardless of how big or small said community is.
- It actually fills a really good niche for those of us who want to chat, but for whatever reason find the chatrooms either too chaotic or not intellectually/socially stimulating enough.
Anyway, this is my official welcome to you! Hopefully you have been enjoying yourself around here!
