The annoying bit was my addition. I'm sorry my punctuation didn't show that.

Yes, and apparently you've said it many, many times.

I think post count equals popularity much of the time. We feel like we know the people whose posts we see most often, so people with low post counts just don't get noticed much of the time. It's okay with me; I'm just saying that post count definitely isn't meaningless.

But not all high posters are popular, and not all low posters are invisible. There is, however, a trend in that direction.

It correlates. It is not causative. [Smile]

It might be somewhat causitive as well--ironically enough, in both directions.

That's why I'm proposing a formula. But someone better than me in maths needs to develop it.

I have nothing to do, I'm going nuts. I signed up in a Bunny name and Tante's about to beat my total posts in a month.

Valium. Please. At this rate I'll drink my problems down.
