Why not? There's tons of reasons to do it, other than craving attention. I'm really enthusiastic about the tech I do, and I like to share my enthusiasm. Also, it helps to lend credence to what I say, if I can back it up.

Another thing that I try not to do, is immediately attack others, on this (or any other) forum.

It buys me absolutely nothing. I don't feel good about it, most folks around the place don't appreciate it, and it tends to make immediate enemies of potential friends.

Pretty much the Platonic Ideal of "Zero Sum Gain."

I've always found that life is easier for me, if I have more friends, and fewer enemies.
