    What makes you think a post has only one point? It’s a curious notion, but I would imagine the vast majority of posters have multiple reasons for sharing what they share.

    Obviously people are often posting things they think others might care about, but that doesn’t tell us anything about anything at all.

      Why did you lead with a question just there? Yes, for the emotion. It’s like you can’t help it.

        Your premise is flawed. A question doesn’t beg an emotion, it begs a response. The response could be completely devoid of emotion.

          Sorry cybertron, begging is totally an evocation of emotion. That’s its power. That’s why you do it.
