I think you've got a good sense of how to use this forum now. It's actually both methods that do the best:
1. Write and update your own posts on specific topics.
2. Respond to posts made by others.
You shouldn't have to feel as though you need to respond to EVERY post made by others, even here in your own forum. It's okay to "let 'er rip", in other words. I think the main thing is that you feel comfortable with what's being said and that you've rebutted it elsewhere on the forum.
I think it's VERY productive and a GOOD idea to write and update your own posts on specific topics. That's one of the PRIMARY ways I use MY forums! Good thinking. Keep up the good work.
