- No, its got nothing to do with how many responses come in.
-
- It's the quality of response. If I try to explain something in detail,
- editing my post down to one word and making a comment that addresses
- none of the ideas presented in the post is useless.
-
- I'd rather people didn't bother instead.
-
- And people, apparently, do just prefer to bicker. And I'm not the
- only one to notice it as a recent trend.
