50%...survey says!

[monster]

50% of dwellars actually read most of the posts in a thread before replying. Only 25% of those actually procees what they read. 10% of those "get it", but 4% of those are pathological assholes. So If you start a thread in th Cellar, you have a 3.14% chance of a coherant response. But you have a 66.6% chance of being contradicted.

I think the number is actually quite a bit smaller.

You're just trying to get me to cut back on the number of threads that I've been starting here and I can tell you it isn't going to work.

Which actually doesn't matter because any given thread has a 76% chance of being thread-jacked, at which point 68% of all dwellars will post exclusively to the topic mentioned in the thread-jack post and 1% will create a clone thread.
