@gemini4, I'm sure all you have to do is post 3 or 4 of your Speedmasters in WRUW and you'll catch up reeeeeaaaaaal quick. Come to think of it, why haven't you posted a photo in this thread yet? Maybe something we haven't seen yet... 😉

Not true Ben. I posted in WRUW once last year.

The post to like ratio is a strange thing. I believe I have written it here on OF before - posting in the WRUW and getting likes is easy. Puting together a written piece that actually makes a difference is a totally other thing. I am a WRUW-likes guy. WRUW-likes has no value when it comes to a members true contribution to OF.

I wrote this on another hobby forum (bicycles) when a member did not get any reaction after a nice article/post - and I believe it to be true "universally":

"On another note - thank you for putting a “full” post together. I really appreciate the effort and you giving us more than just a couple of pictures and - “hey - look what I have done”. Too few make the effort of explaining background, thoughts, choices - and the ups and downs. When, like in your post, one gets more - I start to like the bike even if it is not in my normal line of interest. I like that - it expands my mind and widens the horizon. Thank you.

After many years in different hobbies and on the net I have made an observation though - that the more effort one lays into a post the less response it gets. My theory about what lays behind this phenomenon is too long, meandering and old man grumpy to dwell on here and - I do not wish to take away focus from you excellent post."

End of quote.

I used to be a contributor but I have crossed the line to the dark side. Many reasons... Not buying any new vintage watches is one. Becoming a little tired of the same questions over and over again is one. And just becoming a grumpy old man is the main one I believe.

edit.
Oh... I forgot:

Took me a couple of minutes to notice the kittens.....🙄

But then again, I prefer puppies ::rimshot::
