Which is closest to best describing you in this forum?

[snow.]

Are you a taker or giver.?

[H2O]

I don't know where I fit on this list. I make obs and posts that might not add much because most of what needs to be said by the more intelligent posters usually is said.

I try to provide Lolz. So maybe I'm not entirely useless

[Demeter]

Taker, mostly Will post ob's and use this forum to learn about my obsession, but never ask mby questions, but feel I will be belittled contributing with the very little knowledge I have compared to some on this forum. I can't explain the reasoning like others so I stay quiet, however I am on reading more than a normal person. So I am a pure learner, or taker, if it is called.

[North Balti Zen]

Taker , but trying to be more of a giver. Making honest efforts to learn how to read the right maps and at least I no longer completely rely on others to spoon feed me everything. So...progress.

Taker. Occasionally say something not totally trashy.

[North Balti Zen]

Also, if there is a poll attached , can't see it on the tapatalk. If there is and there is a taking but trying to learn and is tired of dick jokes on the forum option, that's what I would select .

I'll post obs, but most of my posts are of little value.

Though I NEVER ask IMBY questions.

I feel the same.  Me adding anything to a medium to long range forecast discussion is pretty useless.  Not only is anything that I would add already been said by someone more articulate than me, but I also don't put a lot of stock in specific model projections too far out.  At least not this year.  That's not to say that I don't think others shouldn't discuss it because I enjoy reading it all, but I would rather just stay passively interested in future events. 

 

As far as adding discussion to current events, I try to but in the end I'm mostly a model and radar watcher.

 

I guess the best thing about me is that I definitely fit the category of, "Read more and post less."  There are only a few highlighted bullets by any of the threads on my screen.  I read just about everything.  I contribute when I can to discussion, but I also try to think before I post and many times I'll write something, read it, not see any value, and delete it.  I also contribute a few bucks every year because this is the best place I've found to get meaningful weather discussions and forecasts.

How much for Stephens City on Wednesday?

I'm with stupid. ^

[Poodleusier]

Browser....  Weather geek but with little formal training.  Really like to check the medium/long range discussions just to get a heads up.  And hear the analysis that you don't get from NWS or TV Mets.

[jnis]

I'm mostly a taker, although I have made posts that have sparked some discussion from time to time. I post obs, and look to those who are knowledgeable for my weather fix and to advance my knowledge. I never ask IMBY questions. I just want to be part of the community of weather  enthusiasts, and I am grateful to those who put so much time into analysis. There is NO better place to get weather info than here.

Can someone start a poll as to whether this is the most passive-aggressive post in this board's history? If it's not, it's in the running.

Now that I see the poll options, I went with mostly giver, but it should have been 50/50 response, I guess. Not a "taker" under those definitions. But, over the years, I have learned so much more than I can ever hope to re-pay that I will always feel like a taker. 

[HighStakes]

I'm a 50/50 and do try to add value to the forum. Have decent knowledge but not enough to be confident in technical and advanced discussions. Feel the same way as NE Balti Zen above post.

[aldie 22]

100% taker

[ravensrule]

Much better to be the receiver than the giver.

[Jebman]

Taker, mostly, I am no expert in weather, but I dont ask for model output or how much snow will fall  in my yard because I can read threads then interpret for myself. If I would study and apply myself to weather, I could in time become something of a giver in about three years.

not at all. it's always interesting how people like you have so few posts but are a big voice, at least IMO.  people like me should post less.

This is funny.

Thank you for the kind sentiment. Hope the birthday was a good one, young man.

[mitchnick]

I'm only here to take part in the polls....I can't wait until they start bingo  

[weatherwonder]

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. There should be a study done on weather addicts.
