All.
Sometimes I even know what you folks are talking about.
I sing the lyrics, if I know the tune.
Thanks for asking.

Depends on my mood and how much time I have. I try to check all the forums and I read most of the posts but I will often skip conversations that I am not interested in and leave them for those who are.

I read all the forums, but skip certain threads if I'm not finding them terribly interesting or if they need too much effort to work out who's replying to whom or are otherwise difficult to follow.

I find myself skipping the song lyric threads as well of late.

(an aside from a disinterested observer: I thought it had been decided at some point to post just a verse or ? and not entire frappin' songs. wouldn't a link suffice for those who want that?--I assume these are being cut and pasted anyway.)





Yeah. It would be good to post just the relevant chorus or verse. In fact, an added challenge would be to find a song that continues the theme or an idea from the previous one (like I did the only time I participated... admittedly, it's quite difficult and I don't know if I could repeat the feat).

...admittedly, it's quite difficult...

Not if you (like I did last) think 'connection' before you find a word that matches... nobody said you couldn't match a *popular word (eg "it's")

Although I agree with you, AnnaS, that some *pop songs that I've heard or hear WAY TOO OFTEN (even these days) only need the verse or chorus with the word connection, it's nice to read the(whole) story certain songs are telling...

My dilemma is that, these days, many of the posts are false ...

Same as Alex. Jackie, if you're there: The first three if not all four are of interest to those of us who concentrate on words. Therefore they could well be combined into a single heading, which would save us a lot of backtracking; so if you agree, then when you chat with Anu you might pass along this suggestion

I see no advantage to combining forums. It would mean having to scroll down a lot farther to read new posts. I hate to sound like a geezer, but I'm pretty happy with the way things are and see no need to go messing with them.
