It's so great how even a light-hearted comment can trigger your scientific curiosity and puts you into teacher mode! ๐
Good, I worry it is too much at times.
I was reading a thread the other day about whether an OP should be active in the comments or not. Most people seemed to feel only if the post was a question, otherwise it was steering conversation too much and not letting threads be organic.
Our comment sections are so small though, unless I get into a deeper conversation with you guys.
I'd think anyone here solely for entertainment is just clicking on the pic and then moving on, but you guys in the comments are looking for some conversation or banter. To me, that's making the most of us being a small forum. Me responding to you all individually to me is me following where you are taking things. That's how I intend it anyway. I haven't driven you all off by now, so that can't be too inaccurate! ๐
thinking OP shouldn't be in the comments is so weird. you should start a conversation but not take part?
in any case, i check the comments here to see what new interesting things i can learn!
The only time I can think of where it would be obnoxious for an OP to comment is if they ask a question, but then just shoot down whatever replies they get, like the Change My Mind meme guy, just disingenuous stuff.
I'm glad every day to see you guys getting something positive from the things I share.
