I don't think it's an issue of Fisher being a wallflower. I'm the same way as him. I have posted a cubic buttload (picked that up here, BTW, and it is my new favorite saying) today, but that is just because I had looked around enough and felt it was time for me to jump in and participate so there were a lot of threads that I was catching up on. My posting will probably slow down to a more normal (for me) level of maybe 1 or 2 posts a day in a day or two. I just don't have a lot to say. I never have, and I don't feel a need to speak(post) just to hear(read) myself speak(post). That's just the way I am. I post when I have something of value to add. I feel we are all being held to the same standards as what you consider to be optimal good users when you set those kind of limits. And my optimal doesn't necessarily correspond to yours. I could post more often, but it would be forced and fake and the mods would see that and reduce my post count anyway, right.

I know that I can donate to remove any restrictions, and as soon I get another job and have a steady income I plan to do so whether my posting habits put me into the acceptable category or not. I am a mod on another very active board and know what kind of expense it is to run something of this magnitude. I like it here and will remain here as long as I'm allowed.

No system is perfect and I see that the ruling parties here are working hard to make this the best place they can and I appreciate all that they are doing. I don't know what the answer to the problem is, but I know that the system as it stands now means that I will probably be at or below the threshold for a good user. So be it, I can't change that part of me and I will live with it. Keep trying though, each change teaches us all what works and what doesn't.
