I don't understand completely why there is such a discrepancy between enthusiasm for album clubs and responses in discussion threads about albums. I`ve removed myself from being up to date and/or voting on the PFAC and, well, almost altogether at the moment concerning the album clubs. And I love them, conceptually, very much.

I agree with
tore and
Mrd00d, who mention two aspects of MB that surprise me as well:
Firstly, that activity on the music threads is so slow, compared to activity in the Lounge. The classical music thread is the extreme case, where the proportion is about one post or viewer of classical music, to one hundred posts/viewers to the Lounge.
Secondly, a lot of people seem to forget
Satchmo`s excellent advice to new members, which goes something like:
(i) only make a post if you have something to contribute to a discussion.
(ii) remember that you`re probably not as funny as you think you are.( I know I`m not.)
That`s not to say that I`m making loads of thought-provoking comments about music myself, but I do wonder why there are so many potentially interesting music threads that are just left to wither and die.
