what is the point of posting?

Otm-ish, yeah. Fwiw I miss the days you posted more regularly on here emil.y

it sounds paradoxical i know but lurkers are posters, perhaps the greatest, most monstrous posters, think of the possibility, the potential to post, as soon as the first one is published the utter nakedness of it puts all the lurked posts in a whole other light, the perverse knowledge of the lurker, knowing that they've been watching all along, listening in, recording their resentments and their objections and their little quips, waiting, waiting, waiting

I'm still around LBI, I just don't feel like I have much to contribute at the moment.
