Thought I'd crunch some numbers ( hey- Thursday night doesn't get any better than this!):
Viewing the stats of "today's posts" here's what I came up with -

Views: 182,000 (give or take a few)
Replies: 30, 925

So, on average, only 17% of folks that view a post actually reply.

Next up:
How I plan to spend my summer vacation.

Stay tuned.

While its true that many more members read posts than reply to posts you have to remember that those figures probably overstate the ratio because many people will read a post, reply and then read replies to their post later without necessarily replying again. So 2 views and one reply for one person.

Ypu could spend your summer vacation doing Yesfans stats - I'm sure 1yesfan would appreciate that!

I don't know about you guys but I read a lot more than I post.

I don't think there is time enough in the day to reply to every thread.

BTY congrats on 4000+ Brian

Brian this was a very unscientific calculation. Boredom brings out the oddest ideas!
