75. Again, for someone who claims not to care about DU...

Dec 2014

that is an awful lot of analysis. Why? Who has that kind of time on their hands? Reminds me of a couple of select groups who complain incessantly about this place, but never leave. Go... greener pastures! Do the malcontents think they're contributing in a positive manner? Or is everyone else the problem?

You claim the Alexa stats are significant; others do not. Maybe you're right, maybe they're right, maybe there is an in-between, so your group-think comparison is nonsense. And nice little swipe at my intelligence... I'm sure your (dwindling) fan club will be along in no time to high-five.

I've had enough of meta DU for one week, but knock yourself out...
