Agreed. Apathy kills more than conversation too. - Ian May

In a text based conversation, there's often no need for lots of people to participate. Someone will type what you wanted to say. - Admiral Anika

But how do you know what you wanted to say wasn't the one original thing no one else thought of? Or that no one else typed? - Justin Long

Well, if no one said it, then go ahead and say it. I think issue is with more lazy/busy people who don't or won't read a thread to see if something's been said. Then you wind up with a a lot of similar remarks. It's clear no one reads the thread, so why bother? Oops, that's apathy. ;) - Admiral Anika
