I post in response to something that provokes some kind of reaction in me.
I definitely don't post to make friends. :shock:
Erm, I post as and when the mood takes me - dunno that there is always a concrete reason.
It's a bad habit... but hey, I lllike it!

To make friends ? Nope
To find out if anybody will support your unpopular views ? Don't care
To wind people up ?? On occasion
Just because ya have something to say and don`t know where else to say it right now ?? Possibly
All of the above ? On occasion
None of the above ?? all of them at times
For a laugh ? Oh yes
Because you`re bored ? Sometimes just for the hell of it
I reckon theres them that know why I post, and Im damn sure there are them that dont. Thats the only reason I do it :-)
Why do I post?
fun, a joke
just because I want to say it, and here I will not get that look. Even if I do I will not see it.
to test an opinion
to balance an argument, or put another way; they are not saying that with out my two pence on the subject
and sometimes to support or give advice. I sometimes think giving advice is one of my vices.

I use internet forums out of loneliness.
Individual threads prompt a response when I think I can usefully contribute to a debate.
I never try to wind anybody up but I dont really mind if what I think or believe differs from widely held views. I probably contribute more if:
I have a contribution that hasn't already been expressed more eloquently.
I think somebody is being picked on.
If a thread is full of specious twaddle and I think it could benefit from a different perspective.
