    Although it may seem obvious, it seems to me that not everyone starts a thread for the same reasons.

    Just as I am curious as to how others feel about an issue, I am starting this thread to gauge if my reasons for posting are along the same lines as others.

    I provided a few options, but feel free to add your own and explain.

    Thanks

    I think you are missing a big one. "To Troll".

    Mostly number one. I think you left out a signifigant one. The "rush" of social media use. Those little alerts notifying you of activity.

    True, but I don't believe anyone will openly admit to that which is why I provided the "practice typing" option.

    I don't start them. I respond to those that I think are defective in some way.
