I even *sometimes* want to try to understand whether if I<br>did a solid STFU, if that might actually leave room for 1 or more<br>lurkers to pitch in? Probably not on the first round or two (what is<br>the FriAM cycle... minutes, hours, days, variable?) but over time my<br>withdrawal or absence might leave room for someone else? I think there<br>is a term for this in model/sensitivity analysis, but it eludes me right<br>now.... essentially *removing* an assumed dominate variable/signal to<br>see how everything else correlates in it's absence? <br><br>Maybe this bent thread might inspire a few lurkers to weigh in?<br><br>I appreciate Jon's reference to a Pareto distribution frontier to<br>describe the envelope to the "ragged edge" of insider/exclusive vs<br>outsider/inclusive terminology.<br><br>I personally enjoy what feels more to me like listening in on a<br>semi-private conversation held pairwise or a small group where the<br>jargon is specific enough to make me an outsider but the general tenor<br>or subject draws me in.
