"Too many lurkers and not enough posters", TRUTH. It's a problem not specific to just this travel site.

When I put together trip reports for TTOL or elsewhere, it's time consuming, but I used to enjoy it. I liked when there's interaction, positive and negative comments are welcome, even "hijacking a thread" was a fun moment. But strangely comments are extremely rare.

I didn't even finish my last report, stopped at part 5....figured that was a fine spot to stop.
