Not really. When I look at the stats and see 200 'Captains' and 800 'Stowaways' reading the forums, I think "Who are all these people?" Don't they have anything to say?"

Then one pops in asking for help, and never posts again, sometimes not even answering the answers to say "Thank you".

I love talking to people, and if I'm in a conversation just knowing that there are dozens of people listening in, who may or may not have something worthwhile to add, makes me depressed. Maybe some of them don't have anything to say, but I'll never know, will I?
