> How many of you soak up all this knowledge like it's nicotine but don't comment much or post at all?

That perfectly describes my relationship with Hacker News.

As another first time commentor but long time lurker, I'd like to thank those of you who do comment. You've created a truly great resource.

My relationship with Hacker News is also much like this.

I have made exactly three comments before this one, and they were almost a year ago. If not for those, I might not have even created an account here. I just have the type of personality that enjoys taking in knowledge more than discussing it.

My account at Less Wrong is similarly neglected. I often wonder how many others (on both sites) do what I do.
