It's mainly cause folks don't recognize your name, as opposed to the content in your messages. I get plenty of responses in other spots cause other readers know my name. I am much more "accepted" in those communities, so the dialogue and conversation is there. Here you also have folks that are well established and always have folks reading their posts, Janey for instance. I always check for hers(as well as a whole lot of other cats that regularly post, but I forget names) Illosopher and Expertise also have a lot of recognition, because they are major characters on the board, even though few if any cats check for them. This discussion board doesn't get a whole lot of attention. and since so many of us are like minded, there is really not a whole lot to debate and discuss. But this is like my slashdot for activists. Folks will put news here that I am interested in, and talk about them. Somethings don't get a lot of comments cause there is not much to say about them, other than word I agree, thanks for the info.

That's part of being an activist though. If I don't know how to get folks to click on a link, how can I expect them to rally around a flag or a cause?
