BestGFE....coincidence????

[viking1965]

Hi guys,

I'm a Metro New York City area resident who started visiting TERB when my job started entailing regular trips to the GTA.

I admittedly don't have many reviews (sorry), but I do try to post one each time I visit.

I also enjoy the "off topic" forums and serve almost full time as a nemesis of OTB (a worthy opponent, BTW) in this, and the Politics forum.

Anyway, enough of the introduction.

I've found an inexplicably high number of "common" threads in the "non-hobbying" forums on this site and on my "Home" site BestGFE.com.

Is this just coincidence, or a function of our "common mindset", or are there other BGFE members here? My handle is the same on both sites.

Not sure if this type of "advertising" is allowed, but for any of you guys visiting the NY/NJ/PA/CT area, bestgfe.com is the definitive site for the hobbyist in that region.

I think it's a combination of a few things:

1) common mindset/interest (such as the "check out this hot babe" threads);
2) we all read the same news (although spinned differently depending of your political allegiance to different media);
3) people are members of more than one online forums and export threads from one forum to another. For instance, threads such as "Say something nice about the previous poster", "Make a new word by changing one letter", "What are you doing for Xmas/V Day/Halloween/etc?", appear in almost all online forums that I visit, irrespective of their focus. I tend to ignore them everywhere I go.

hmmmm ... I guess that would explain the lack of threads discussing a relative comparison between the pre-Christian, Stoicist doctrine of the ancient Greeks and the Buddhist doctrine of Siddhartha Gautama, which were thought to have originated coincidentally sometime between 400-300 BC.

I find this meatloaf to be shallow and pedantic...hmmmm....yess.....shallow and pedantic.
