I agree with most of the reasons given but would like to add one.
I just recently posted (a month ago) what I think a most interesting topic,
(search for HalfOrder if you are interested) I have not got a single answer,
first I was disappointed than I just came to the calm solution that
(1) the topic is not interesting at all for others
and / or
(2) they do not like my style (I know its *weird* but I do not like to look
at things from one angle only and I am *willing* to pay the price)

So I piped down a little ;) I am still reading the list, but I have to admit
I am missing the Bills, Jims, T's (what's your name;) Aras and even Austins
(just kidding) too.

Cheers
Robert

P.S. And of course some time goes into Smalltalk right now, see below ;)
