I'm not criticizing and am not exempting myself. I'm just observing and subjectively evaluating:
I believe that the fmajority of posts (or statements) made follow a plan which is to ESTABLISH something.
I think hardly anybody altruistically posts his ideas, opinions, thoughts, reports, whatever, just to use bandwidth or cyber space but to leave his mark WRT to a point in question or to a point not in question. As such, it can be viewed as some sort of promotion--self-promotion. Now, who would successfully promote himself with something not desirous?
Voila!
