Why are there more views on questions than comments on it?

I know you saw this, are just going to pass by like that?

    Some folks are looky-loos, not answer-loos.

  • I look at a lot of them but if I can't come up with a good answer? I pass them by.

    There will always be more views. Not everyone replies the questions, they only look inside. Next there will be all those who did reply and who goes back to the question each time there is a new comment/notification popping up. :-)

    Good point, I hadn't thought of that.

    Mhmm. I have those good points all the time, Randy. Not everyone realizes it though. Oomph. ;-)

    Even when I answer a question, I usually return to read other answers.  I enjoy the input of other members.

  • Nah,  lurking is a good thing and we should all do more of it.

  • Well everytime you or anyone checks their updates to see what someone else gave as a reply it counts as one more view.  So they add up quick. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at February 20, 2017 8:22 PM MST

  • Mostly, when I go to a question it's with the intention of answering. If somebody has said what I intended then I don't bother. Or if somebody's answer is so good that anuthing I added would be spurious, again I don't bother. 

    Of course, there are those who will tell you that ANYTHING I have to say is spurious. *sob* They're very mean.

    Sometimes I can't think of anything to say and sometimes I just want to read the comments.
