Not necessarily in this order:

1 - Entertainment
Can't believe they actually hit Post on that!

2 - Comradery
Can you believe what this guy said to me? He's an idiot, right?

3 - Paranoia
Better make sure I'm not the "Twit" someone's complaining about.

On the other hand I never read the obituaries because I'm afraid I'll see my name there

4 - to let off steam?


No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

6 - because I need the Stats

Amazes me how that Thread has survived and prospered

1,313 replies, 141,325 reads (as of today) which is a fair bit considering its small target audience

Madhi's "Export to Excel" thread has 458,528 reads - not all that many replies, but most of them should be in the Twit list!

"Convert String to Datetime" has 206,592 reads - which only goes to show how rubbish DEVs are at messing with Dates in SQL and "best split function" has 198,398 reads - so a Noble Mention to that thread!

Blimey ... "Set IDENTIY_INSERT ON" has 235,818 reads, surprised there are than many people trying to insert into tables and preserve IDENTITY ... Ho!Hum!

Three articles with over 100,000 reads ...
