I've been a member here for as long as you have, but have only posted once (twice including this one). Does that mean that I should be ineligible because I don't talk as much as you or other people? I'm not seeing how it should. I talk all day and night, every day, outside of the internet and on it as well. I have more than 2 handfuls of forums I frequent, this being one of them. I have Facebook profiles and pages to manage, groups, etc., I blog on at least 2 blogs almost daily (but mostly at least 1x per week). I also frequent YouTube, Twitter, etc.
Sometimes it's nice to just read/listen and not have to talk back. When I have something I feel is worthy of contributing, I will, but lots of times I don't or I'm just too mentally blasted to do so.
Instead of arguing about all the low posts or noobz, we should all just welcome everyone, take it for what it is, and say thanks to Tom and the sponsors for this epic-beyond-epic event.
