Earlier quoted context omitted.

I see your point. However, I've been doing this for a year now and, so far as I can tell, there hasn't been a significant uptick in comments in these threads. It tends to fluctuate between 700 and 1,000 depending on the month (more in northern hemisphere summer, less in winter). I'd also add that I spend a bunch of my personal time answering questions, following up and so on. It can sometimes be fun and sometimes it…

That sounds fair enough. I wasn't complaining - just wondering. And it looks like you're trying to maintain the level of involvement too which is good.

No worries. I get defensive easily, it's one of my charming qualities.
