For some reason I read, (and sometimes respond) to threads in the 'Off Topic Discussion' - 'Random Discussion' Forum that have received 30 to 40 replies (such as this thread as of this post); that is threads receiving a range of 30 to 40 replies are rare in this Forum. Most threads are either less than 30 replies, or far more than 40 replies. Quite the extreme range.
After about 40 replies, discussion threads are usually best ended, and left to curiosity, and in some instances a novel means to gauge and infer the pulse of.....WrongPlanet.net!
ADDENDUM: Wanted to 'bump-up' this discussion thread and ask, "has anybody considered responding to topics in 'Off Topic Discussion' - 'Random Discussion' Forum receiving between 30 to 40 posts?"
As said in above, topics receiving 30 to 40 responses appears to be a "barometer of sorts" of topics that receive "just the right amount of attention" "not too little, not too much" (as some discussion threads have responses in the thousands).
Are 30 to 40 responses a reasonable indicator?
