I generally don't read the threads about sales.
Personally I do, but there are certainly things that I avoid. I think that perhaps quite a few of us are becoming a little more selective in our reading. I know plenty of people, including a couple of moderators, who admit to not looking at the vintage section – why would they, if they are not interested? For the same reason, I tend not to open threads that contain: C60, bracelet, clasp, and the names of certain high-profile brands I'm not that interested in.
I used to feel that it was somehow necessary to comment in every thread, especially new watch threads. I tend not to do that very much either, now – with the exception of birthdays and welcoming newcomers, which I intend always to do. If I'm really not interested in something, then any comment I make would probably be facetious, which doesn't help at all. I do get a bit cross sometimes with the off topic trashing, for want of a better word, of perfectly good threads that start off with a question about watches.
I think there's a good article on forum etiquette...might do us all good to read it now and then.
