Why do people post these? "I am currently listening to", "I passed my test in", "my previous cars" and so on.

They're not interesting, and just end up with a 5 or 6 page list of people posting replies along the lines of "Metro 1.1l". Hardly riveting stuff, is it?

Can't we try and keep the threads so that there's some actual readable content, something to stretch the mind or amuse a little?

Surely, if they generate 5-6 pages of replies, then they must be of some interest ? Albeit not to you

People are interested in replying, yes. But they're not actually interesting to read.

How many people can honestly say that they waded through all the pages in the "what car did you pass your test in" thread, and actually read every post?
