Can you have a large post count and be normal?

I'm talking about people with a 1000 posts or something who are intelligent and are always on the net answering peoples questions. Are these disabled people who dont have a job and girl friend? I just wonder because these people are adding so much value and are getting no compensation. The injustice kind of annoys me. Some times I think they might be burn victims and cant leave their house or something.

Well, you wouldn't be talking about users like me who just regularly contribute since I don't have any "Specialities" to bring to the board (But I do try to help since I get so much back from it!) but I can say that yes, I officially have no life.

Have a girlfriend, go to school but both suffer unfortunately (which has to change since I have EXAMS coming!!!).

I agree though, I too wonder. WHO ARE THE KNOWN BUT UNKNOWN MEMBERS OF THIS SITE?!?!

Stay tuned ...

I used to have a girlfriend. (Unrelated to rfd posting btw) As you can see some people with many posts simply joined a long time ago.

The injustice kind of annoys me.

If the injustice annoys you so much feel free to contribute to my "Carnage burn assistance" fund. PM me for paypal info.

These burn treatments don't pay for themselves you know.

I don't think you need to get too worked up, we're all pretty normal. I'm just your everyday, run of the mill, transgender-quadriplegic-siamese-twin-blind-deaf-mute-bubbleboy.

So I do this when I'm not building houses for those in need of a little help.

White collar workers with boring jobs and students procrastinating are the backbone of every Internet community.

I think most of us online right now are stuck at work

[MilkyWind]

I joined like 3 years ago and only have 1400 something posts. I'm ashamed =(

Now onto a different matter, I also have no life and I spend much more time reading than posting on redflags. Then again, I work graveyards and there just mpt really always something to do.

I have >1K but I also joined 3 yrs ago. I have a fiancee, great job and damm good life.

I don't mind answering questions and helping people out, mostly because it doesn't cost me much time or difficulty. I'm at a desk 3-4 days per week so taking 30 mins to read some of this is no better/worse than a smoking break

as for compensation, hey, I'm paid while doing this.

Agreed. I get a lot from these forums; hot deals, support from fellow contesters (still trying for the Pepsi/Doritos HDTV!!!!) and giggles from all you crazy people in Off-Topic. I don't mind answering questions, we're all here and why not help out someone in the RFD community?
