Posting: When Are You Serious?

I was wondering when people here are serious and when they're joking. Y'see, whenever I post on the boards, any boards, I'm not being serious, I'm trying to be a smart-ass (though I usually just succeed in being a dumb-ass). This is, of course, why I don't post on the Current Events board and rarely post anywhere but Lifestyle.

So, what's your rule? Mine is this: the boards are for play; in journals, however, I'm almost completely serious (though not without humour). Groups are usually both. Now you: Have you noticed a trend with your posting? Is there a trend to notice? Do you even care?

Discuss.
