Showerthought: the guy in the break room at my Detroit office said he spends 20 minutes a day just scrolling the chatter lounge
I overheard him say it while I was getting coffee on Tuesday and it stuck with me. He said he reads every new thread but posts maybe once a week because he feels like he has nothing worth adding. That is 20 minutes a day, 7 days a week, which comes out to over 2 hours of lurking every week. It got me thinking about how many of us here read way more than we write. The lounge only stays alive if people actually jump into threads, even with a short reply. If you only read and never post, what would make you finally type something out?
