I'd be willing to bet that no one else can comment on so many threads and not make a bit of difference to the overall "information quotient"
I just like to talk and get lonely sometimes.

It's great that you are able to engage in multiple discussions and share your thoughts and opinions. However, it's important to also consider the quality of your contributions rather than just the quantity. It's not just about talking, but also actively listening and adding value to the conversation. Additionally, it's important to also take breaks and engage in other activities to avoid feeling lonely. Balance is key in maintaining a healthy and fulfilling social life.
