as a think tank where you can derive new ideas 'just' as a social gathering place to meet and make new friends as an exit-valve to blow off some steam and heat to borther, stalk and plague and bother other people with your ego and to show off with your knowledge on topics (often copy/paste) in wich you find contentment. to interact with other people something you can't do with the people that surround you in your 'real' life because you're too intelligent,.... you're here just because you think it's cool you're here just to read en hopefully learn something and to derive some wisdom out of this learning proces you don't know why you're here, nor why you make comments,..hell : often you don't even know what you're talking about! All of the above!!! None of the above [/list=1] please explain a bit more,...
