Just an observation:

Very often, at first, these posts, begin with quite a few folks, with broad perspectives to share. They often end with a few discussing one or two topics, with oft' repeated perspectives.

It kinda reminds me of fencing. No, not the dueling variety-but, the containment type found down on the farm.

I grew up on a farm and we had a large herd of cattle. It was one of my jobs to keep the fences intact, to keep the cattle contained inside. Unfortunately, when a hole in the fence appeared, it was also my job to chase and herd the cattle back inside and fix the hole.

When we reduced our herd, gradually down to a few, and then one, I excitedly predicatedmy job would be earlier-fewer animals, fewer animals would be easier to contain. I was wrong, for some social reason my job of containement was just as hard, if not harder, with more holes in the fence and escapes to deal with.

My observation here is the job of the mods, in containing the few, and fixing the holes may be more difficult as the number of posters decrease to a few? But, it is just an observation, not a fixed belief, and it is open for discussion.
