Well, Rob, there's a certain political forum (which shall go unnamed) that I've visited every single day for the past 5 or 6 years to read the comments therein (which obviously indicates a huge amount of interest) but I've made no more than 15 or 20 posts to that forum in all.
This is a small forum however and if it was not for the few making many posts it would be very quiet around here.
I presume the political forum you were on had many active posters?
