Hi,

I think too in these sorts of communities, from the educational point of view, there is a lot more reading than posting.

In the technical area people have specific issues or difficulties that need instant resolution, and the community is a good place to take questions in order to find an answer.

Educational questions, however, can be very broad and may never have an answer, or be debated for decades. So there is not the urgency to respond - maybe this is a contributing factor to the different pace of discussion or rate of posting. ??
