just my opinion

why is it people always want to give an opinion when you post a thread on a subject that doesnt ask for an opinion ? YES this time i want an opinion...

Because if you are posting on a message board you are asking for opinions. If you don't want opinions then don't post.

Some people just can't help themselves.

It's a "Discussion" forum. People have discussions by giving their opinions. And no one needs an engraved invitation to give their opinion. That's what baords are for!

Yes, there is a big difference between a discussion forum and a blog. Blogs are great for putting your feelings out there, with full control over whether and how folks respond. Discussion forums are great for throwing your hat in the ring and then letting things flow from there, taking whatever directions all the various members of the discussion forum wish to take it.

FaceBook is a great alternative to a blog. I've used FaceBook Notes instead of a blog for almost a year now. It allows you to get replies, from selected people.
