Are forum posters like Z list celebs? :(

I often feel like I'm watching reality TV when reading some forum threads as I often see what appear to be private chats taking place. (Not here so much)

Here is one reality experience one can participate in if one chooses. You can choose to invade that private conversation with some inane remark for example.

It's like putting your hand through the TV screen and saying to a cook on 'Come Dine With Me'

"oy, your knicker label is showing".

It's the ultimate fly on the wall experience.

Which brings me to my next ponderance - are prolific forum posters a bit like Z list celebs in that they are addicted to living their life in the public eye?

I have private discussions with everyone. Does that make me a sad git?

Can I be king of the Z-List celebs?
