I'll bet you'll get at least a dozen answers to this one :-)

I don't know; I really like discussing things here. It does get
repetitive, and sometimes exasperating (though I feel better for
having taken a 2-month hiatus recently). But it also has interesting
ramifications, like when two people who answer end up talking to each
other because they have different takes on how to do something. I've
had lots of experiences on both sides of the fence of seeing/giving a
suboptimal or just plain wrong answer and being corrected or
enlightened.
That said, I think that if you want to do it, you should, because
that's how these things should work. We don't all have to agree or
feel that it's the right thing for us.
