So, if your entire identity is now bound up in one ENWorld discussion thread, what happens to you when it peters out?

Not only am I not interested, I am now actively disinterested.

I wish we could post polls within this thread.
But I'll ask the question(s) anyway:

• How often do you start responding to a thread and then just think twice about it and delete what you've written instead?
• About how much on average do you write of this response before coming to this conclusion?

Not often, maybe once a week. I've gotten pretty good at spotting a thread that I'm not going to enjoy participating in. More importantly, a thread I don't have much to offer to either.

• About how much on average do you write of this response before coming to this conclusion?

Maybe a paragraph. I usually come to the decision pretty quickly.

Not often enough.

But usually at LEAST once a day.

Very often.
I will complete the post, read it a few times, determine how angry I am, and then delete it.

Often. Like, just about daily.

Maybe a word or two. Sometimes a sentence.
