The answer choices don't seem appropriate to me. Or rather, I find the question itself inadequate.

I'm genuinely interested in the forum and visit it multiple times a day. There are participants I have no interest in whatsoever — their presence, along with information about what they're into, is an intrusive but unavoidable background noise.

But there are some others whose presence I truly value. Thanks to them, my musical interests are evolving for the better. They're the reason I'm here. The rest doesn't matter at all.

Thanks for your reply. Makes sense to me.

This poll will result in members commenting (positively or negatively, that's not the issue) on other members' contributions or posting habits. Invariably, this descends into acrimony and unpleasantness. Therefore, the thread is closed. Thanks for your understanding.
