When I first joined BF it was for the purpose of learning from more experiencedmembers about anything related to wild birds and birding. When I log on to BFI always click in 'today's posts' and skim the threads for interesting topics.I read threads from many of the different sub forums here. I've always wondered whyI rarely see people who are regulars in the binoculars forum in any of the other forums.It's definitely a different vibe in the bins forum.  The Ruffled Feathers forum canbe sort of a strange place at times as well.  As weird as the bins forum is, I usuallyenjoy reading and commenting here.  Sometimes I do feel a little burned outfrom the bins forum and will go away for a little while to look elsewhere on BF or take a little break altogether from BF.I too have  asked myself why I'm on BF so much, but it's better than havinga truly bad habit like sniffing glue or stealing fancy bras from the mall. 8-P:cat:</blockquote>
