They feed themselves with all the information provided by others.
Always willing to participate, but too afraid to make typos, so they spent too much time trying to figure out how to say what they think in a beautiful, perfect English, only to realize that someone else has already done it.

I thought it would be fun to give my take on the different types of posters here. I find it quite amazing that so many different types of people from different ages and backgrounds can all be brought together under this friendly roof. These are just my humorous takes on just some of the different categories of people here. Hopefully it will be taken in the spirit it was intended. Feel free to expand and augment my selections.
1. The Historians: Those who really know their stuff, and don't need to flaunt it. Calm voices of reason. Always there with a gentle correction. Gazza and withsoull come to mind, but there are others.
2. The "True Fans": Everything the Rolling Stones has ever done is equally great. Dirty Work? As great as Exile. Vegas era? As great as 1972. Chuck? As great as Ian Stewart. It's all good. Any sentiment to the contrary is "negativity".
3. The Taylorites: People who believe the band was at its peak from 1969-1974.
4. The Extreme Taylorites: People who think anything Mick Taylor ever did is great, whether it's with the Stones on Brussels or playing blues at a small club with three guys he met in the parking lot and seven people in the audience.
5. The Woodites: Those who prefer the Ron Wood era of the band.
6. The Extreme Woodites: They just love Ronnie. His art? Love it. His solo albums? Brilliant. His girlfriends? Each one a gorgeous princess. His hair? Love it. His eight re-habs? Each and every one was a success. Ronnie plays great? They love it. Ronnie passes wind and falls over? They love that too. Go Ronnie Go.
7. The Gear Heads: Those who can tell you what brand of guitar pick (and what gauge) keith was using at the El Mocambo in 1977, as well as pedals, strings, amps, and all manner of equipment. Mathijs, where would we be without you?
8. The women: As in most things rock 'n roll, it's a bit of a boy's club, and you have to admire the females here who post in spite of the nonsense of us idiot men.
9. The Dutch: The internecine battles of our compatriots from The Netherlands always fascinate me. I love it when they switch to their wonderful but incomprehensible language to continue their arguments with each other.
10. The Brian Jones Conspiracy Theorists: It was Brian's band. he was pushed out by Mick, keith and Andrew. His brilliant songs were never used. He was murdered in the pool.
11. Jagger Bashers: It's all Mick's fault.
12. Keith Bashers: It's all Keith's fault.
13. The Jokesters: StonesTod, I'm talking about you.
14. And finally, Mickscarey: In a class by himself. Two words: DONE DEAL!
* I will keep updating as people suggest new categories.

indeed....!
These people exist in every fandom and are always annoying. The last sentence points out why I have a problem with them.Quote

I don't like us ladies being lumped into a category of panty-tossers with no substance.

we do have a "no substance" category that is not gender-specific, if that helps....

Yes, but do they still toss panties?

it occurs to me you've left out the single category with the largest representation:
the permanently banned
these are the posters who have been banned for bad behavior and now post under new identities.
