Okay, I posted something. I hope the message will disappear.
First off, yes, the message disappeared with your post. Be forewarned it will return if you do not post again in a few days.

What is comes down to is that forums grow because of active participation. And we are simply trying to encourage forum members to do just that - actively participate. If we had 3,570+ members that never posted, this forum would be pretty quiet.

As for posts being 'contentless', I suppose that is in the eye of the beholder. I see some pretty silly threads that have a lot of responses and I see some very well-written threads that seem to go ignored. <shrug>

The message you were seeing will not reach out and bite you, if you prefer not to post.
