Have been a lurker for a _long_ time.

Hi!
I mostly like to read threads, and have been doing so here at ATS for a very long time, as a lurker.
The majority of the time someone will come up with and post the same thoughts I was having on an issue. I'm not particularly chatty mostly, and don't feel need to interject.

However, lately I have been feeling urge to post my thoughts as well.
To the point I would like to event start a thread or two.

I have things I'd like to throw out on threads, which I can't find in search, but am having a tough time getting to the 20 post count, before being allowed to start a thread.
I'm concerned I will lose the thoughts and motivation by then.


Any suggestions to accelerate my post count without being rude or a jerk with trivial, non-contributory replies ?

Thanks for input!

Good luck, but be warned this place takes the definition of the word opinion to a whole new level sometimes.

Have fun... educate and evolve.

Haha, thank you for advice!
I look forward to my ongoing evolve(ment) with ATS!

Hiya Thoughtform, (great name by the way) twenty posts seems a lot but you'll get through them fast enough.

Looking forward to your threads. It's like Christmas before the pressies are opened. What'll be in them I wonder??????

Type it up beforehand, in Notepad or Word. Save it on your computer. When you get 20 posts, just copy and paste.

Haha, I was about to say 'Great, I hope the anticipation builds', but then I realized the irony was too much for the thread topic.

Thanks for the tip! I will do that, definitely.

Just not sure if the passion will carry, but maybe I can get to that 20 count faster than it seemed.
