Well, the short answer is you don't have to. Go to the Jeopardy Board; you can spend all day there arguing over just how a particular contestant's daily double strategy was poorly selected. The longer answer is that, if you hadn't noticed, we don't get a whole lot of any kind of posts nowadays. Like it or not, Bob's threads and those like them (and Spock's as well, who I noticed you didn't single out for criticism), generate interest and comments. Gone are those halcyon days when we reveled in who did or did not get the call and who was or was not attending a particular audition. Sadly, gone too are a number of our livelier posters for various reasons. It's sad to go online in the middle of the afternoon and see that no one has posted anything since the night before.
Of course, there's a line between generating interest and bombarding the Bored, but, in all fairness, I don't think Bob or Spock cross that line. I don't have that many Facebook friends, but I get a lot more political posts every day there than I do here.
So, if Bob or Spock or you generate some interest with your posts, fine, all the better. I also enjoy hearing people's personal news, good or bad, and their comments on sports, films, TV, and books. I for one would much rather having to spend ten minutes catching up on what's happened on the Bored one day than ten seconds.
