I’m in the same boat. Most of the time I’m just hanging on by my fingernails trying to follow these threads and don’t feel I know enough to contribute, except occasionally. There are probably a lot of us in the same boat.
What’s good about your engagement on the Q thread is that you bother to “catch up” on the thread.
It’s amazing the several who show up and want active researchers to stop and entertain their questions, or give them some personalized synopsis of the entire dang thread, rather than put their own head down go catch up like everybody else has to do.
Very rude, imho.
It’s like working a crime scene and somebody driving by, stops on the side of the road, trots over to butt into the work going on just to quiz the officers about what happened, because after all the drive by just got there. LOL!
It’s a great courtesy you practice.
