I often notice how I will be looking at a post and perhaps it has a few responses or no responses but I will see that it had numerous, often more than a hundred views. Obviously some people do not want to post but just view the discussion—which is fine.
I've often thought that's because so many are unwilling to share information in this modern age. However, a friend this morning said he wondered if the people were sometimes intimidated. Given the generally high fishing IQ seen by most people who post on this site, perhaps they are simply newbie anglers who do not feel they have the knowledge to enter the discussion? Perhaps they think their questions will be seen as dumb questions that might receive poor feedback? Perhaps they have limited English skills and are hesitant to post for that reason?
Just wondering if these or other issues prevent more from posting? What do people think?
