You misunderstood the reply, which was to the comment made previously by JWM, which was spot on. (i.e. A FACT)
There was no mention of 1100 POSTS and the thread being hijacked, the FACT was that over 1100 people HAD READ the buffet thread, and only 11% of that number had read this thread. (HITS)
AGAIN, nothing to do with how many posts. HITS/Readers and POSTERS are 2 different things.
The fact remains that 9 times the number of people were interested in reading the buffet thread than this one, based on the forum topic headline.
As of the time I posted, those simply were the facts.
I can handle it.
Twist the facts however you want.
If subtle=128 and popular=1128, then in this case, subtle is NOT just as good as popular.
To put it another way, there was no comparison of the number of posts here VS the number of posts on the other thread.
That being said, and rereading your post, your comment doesn’t make any sense, at least not to me.
If the govt gets a hold of my facts, they will somehow turn it into a report that states that this post is more popular than the other one*
