Default Re: What does starting a reply with \"Grunch\" mean?

Grunching refers to replying without reading the other responses first. It may be counterintuitive, but many feel this improves the overall quality of the advice given. People are uncomfortable giving an opinion which is in the minority, so if the first few responses agree, or say the decision isn't interesting, then it is hard to get any other advice, even if this was just a bad sample.
