I have noticed a similar thing on another board when a member posts about how "whipped" he is, large numbers of guys want to read and comment on it.

Not a psychologist (did stay at a holiday inn express last night though)...I think it's like discussing shanks in golf....deep down it is our deepest and most primal fear; threatens our manhood and in the case of guys like B'Faithful, the very essence of our being; and that perhaps by discussing it we hope it won't happen this year......um...not that it ever happened to me last year you understand..

Bahh, Steve. according to some a skunk is the essence of my being

Bill, you got yerself a debate here over the definition of a skunk. Your fishing report is something everyone agrees upon and is envious of. You had a day we are all hoping and waiting for!
