Aha, easily the most common complaint I hear about me, which is fair enough for a music forum. I first signed up because Ethan (who I knew from another forum) bugged me into doing so. At the time my total taste in music didn't get much beyond In Flames and a few other metal bands and I definitely wasn't incredibly into it, more just listened because that's what my friends also listened to. Nowadays my music appreciation has become much broader and hopefully a little deeper (and definitely leant away from metal) but I still find it hard to put forward anything constructive about music without feeling like I'm parroting what someone else has already said. Sporadically I have an attempt at becoming a productive poster on the music side of things and as my music taste improves it'll hopefully become less sporadic and more common place. I don't ignore the music section because I lack an interest in music, it's just I don't feel as though I'm being especially productive with the posts I feel capable of making there.

I'd love to fill out my own list of opinions on members however I fear it would be somewhat lacking. For one of those with 4 years or more under my belt my frequent sabbaticals and scant appreciation of the breadth of this forum leave me with good knowledge of only a few of the current posters. Give me a couple of weeks, I'll get more involved and have something worthwhile to say
I respect you so much more after this post. I'm excited to hear what you've got to say about others, but more importantly, I'd like to hear what you think about music you enjoy and, well, don't enjoy. I must admit that I come on here to see what others have said about me, too, so I'm not much better than you (still better than you, though).
