Those posts are nothing BUT vanities. Do you really think the poster is interested in YOUR favorite movie/song/Beatle/football team/underwear fetish? The object is to gather as many responses as possible, so you can brag to your friends. Apparently there are those who consider that the way to gain fame on this forum.
I would suggest that, in keeping with the forum's original intent, one seek notice by the intelligence of his remarks, the depth of his research, or the keenness of his wit. Those virtues contribute much more to the advancement of conservatism than idle jabber.
