Usually the good snark has already been posted before I arrive.  :cheersmate:

I usually have to be firmly convinced that contributing my two cents worth to a thread isn't going to get me change back, before I'll post.

Sometimes I'm not in a position to post.  I may be waiting on an appointment or a phone call and I know if I get in the middle of posting I'll just close the window and all will be lost.

I forgot to answer my own poll question, so I will now.  If it's evening time, I'm usually drunk as a skunk (sometimes just a baby skunk).  Rest of the time, someone else beat me to the snark. :-)

If I don't post in a thread (or someone beats me to it), it's usually because I feel my snark is sub-par and I'll keep it to myself.  (voted 'Other') :whistling:

 :yeahthat:

All kindsa reasons - no time, the snark's been taken already, wanna avoid the "piling-on syndrome" or sometimes I just don't want to bother.

"Too drunk to post" ain't in my vocabulary, however.

Usually because it was funnier in my head than when I wrote it down on 'paper' here so I just close the window.  Afterall, there's some stiff competition posting in the Cave (OMG, did I just write that?  O-)  :-))

A lot of times either what I would say has already been posted or half way through a post will kind of read it and think that it is either stupid/convoluted or just plain not worth posting.
Will just back out and go on reading what other folks write.

Sometimes I'll just piss someone off with what I have to say or I simply just don't f'n feel like it.

Why, I'm SURE none of the fine ladies and gentlemen of the Cave have ANY idea what you are speaking of.  "I" on the other hand, am  :rotf:

OK, I shoulda read a few posts above mine before responding.
Let me rephrase this, njpines, to say that those of the Cave who ARE ladies and gentlemen wouldn't have a clue as to what  you speak of.
Thank God we don't have many of those around here. :-) :rotf: :rotf:

Some days just don't feel like writing much, but quietly enjoy others' stuff. 

I'm proud to say I have never posted drunk at the Cave.  I did once at Moonbattery, and it wasn't pretty.  Hard to do, too.

There's some pretty witty people here, and a lot of times they've already mined the subject pretty well, my post wouldn't add anything so I smile and move on.

I think you should contribute your mite, DAT, after all, it makes the original poster feel the love.  O-)
BTW, thanks for posting here.  Everyone.  Really.  My self esteem has been totally uplifted.  By the stiff competition.  Or something. :whistling:

It's NOT that we don't have a clue, we are just better than that to make a justified reply.... :smile:

Ain't nothing wrong with a little stiff competition.  Or something.   :whistling:

If I don't post, it's because it has been snarked to death, someone stole my snark, or I am drunk.   :-)

Days like today, I have a massive amount of PMS going on.  In order to keep things pleasant around here and not end up on everyone's ignore list I deny myself the pleasure of responding to many threads.  Today I am pretty sure I could eat a puppy kitten sandwich with a side of baby seal.  So people are wayyyyyyyyyyyy down my list on things I can tolerate.  Ask my kids.  They think they have just been sent to a Russian gulag simply for questioning my authority today!

Other


Sometimes I will write something, reread it and decide it's too snarky, so I delete it.
Sometimes I hit post and the whole damn thing disappears and I don't bother to rewrite it. (it was probably too snarky anyways.. :tongue: )
All the good comments have already been made.
I'm not knowledgable enough on the topic to post, but I read and learn.
Sometimes I will not comment because of the subject matter.
Sometimes I just want to read, I may come back and comment, or not.
Sometimes I'm too lazy to comment.

I may be tipsy when I comment, but I'm very rarely drunk, and if I was, I wouldn't be able to comment.

Other.  I am a mild spoken person.  My thoughts seem to only restate the obvious.  However, I love, love the snark.  It's just not my gift.

PS:  I read that Bobo the hobo has an RV,  and I really want her to know our WY sevice stations are infrequent and expensive.

I start to reply, I decide I am not sure of my facts, I go and look it up, I get distracted by a shiny thing.
