Is double points day encouraging writing, but discouraging reading?

I know I've probably been more vociferous today, at the expense of sitting down and listening to what people have to say. I'd guess I normally have a 4:1 reading:writing ratio, but today that has probably been reversed.

Be honest with yourself. How are you behaving today? Feel free to points whore with long posts if you must

Oh, and here, have a hug -

I haven't been reading nearly as much. I haven't been posting much either.

I'm not in the mood to do either

I do read the posts. At least, I read them as much as I normally do. I have to admit though, if I see a topic with more than forty replies, I tend to stay away, unless I've already read it before. Or unless it seems really interesting. That's just too much to read at once! I did that before today though.

1. Give the illusion of being "cool"
2. Make you look like a veteran
3. Feeds the human ego by putting a larger number next to your name than other people have
4. The most tangible, but probably least important, gives you additional abilities on the site (like putting a piccie in your sig at 2000 points)

this is my first post of the day, so of course at this stage I am reading the posts.

At least there isn't too much spam

These points is really brilliant thing, because then you'll see whos active and whos not. And also you get an "award" for your contributions. Also "the law" is a kinda watch dog for the members, much like the media. You get applause for you good post's and punishment for being bad or only posting bulls***.

And the things that stumblinthrulife says, makes it work.

I am reading a bit less today than normal, but then again a lot of the posts are quite a bit longer than normal. My favorites are the average length posts that say something and the shorter posts that are just funny.

But, quite often, I read a lot more posts than I write. Probably because people already answered very close to what I would have answered. If I think I have an idea which is rather new to add to the thread then I will, but if it is only mirroring everybody else, I don't see the point in posting it.

I think that I have a pretty even ratio of both reading and writing. I find this a perfect place to put in my two cents and it gets ignored or accepted. Either way I get to talk about my opinion which is always something that I have. Its been nice to vent here too.

Thanks for listening to my b.s.
