- You just never know! Sometimes I post a topic that I think is blockbuster and it gets two comments. Other times I'll post something quick and get a whole bunch of answers. Either way glad to see your questions and in this case it was a good conversation that people can read and learn from. I featured it because I know many people read but don't necessarily comment. If its featured more will at least read. Good work!
