Almost as though it's a safety in numbers thing... maybe a lot of people
think they don't have enough to contribute or that others can explain
better or that they'll look (wrongly) like an idiot and so they hold
back from posting. Then once a couple of people have replied it's enough
to make them feel comfortable with doing so too. Right place at the
right time, like so many things...

Before I say anything else, this isn't a personal attack on anyone, just a
semantics thing.
I'm not wishing to sound bitter or anything, but when I asked an identical
question about scopes last year I didn't get the same level of replies
that this question is getting so I floundered for ages. The same people
are around now that were around then so was it the way I phrased the
question or typed the subject line?
