So I could spam to 60 posts and use the Classified like half the people come here to do :p

The better question is, why did we stay ;)

EDIT: Actually signed up to ask a question about a tenkey I found which turned out to be a G80-3700.

I signed up to post yet another "what keyboard should I get" thread... Yeah, not the most glorious entry. Since then I've stuck around, regurgitated some of the keyboard knowledge I've soaked up and mostly been hanging out in the input devices forum trying to keep facts about mice straight.
Hopefully I've managed to be of help to someone.

I lurked on geekheekhack for a few weeks before i signed up to do research on HHKB owners, most likely right after all the mess happened. Signed up to make a retarded post, most likely drunk and super angry at the time, that I switched keyboards and got a HHKB. Though i regret the first few posts i made on geekhack, i def don't regret signing up.

associating it with yourself once you start to take the hobby serious and involve yourself, and work towards the 'enthusiast' title, at that point, it's not something you want to do, or be proud of

I don't really see the problem.  There's always a variety of knowledge about stuff and there needs to be more experienced people to inform the less knowledgeable.  Some people just prefer to be helpful.  You yourself have posted on there just weeks ago, so I don't see the need to chastise others who visit it as well.  Iirc you were complaining about how you didn't get enough karma for your julysicles.
