I think about this for a long time, and thought about posting in MO, finally decided to post here.
I saw a lot of celebration about someone reached posting of *000's. I calculated the number of one person who posted 1000 in less than 100 days...
Here is my minimized calculation:
1) 10 postings a day on average
2) At least 10 additional reading for posting each one, probably waaa...y above...
3) About 1 minute for each reading including thinking
4) At least 3~5 minutes for each posting, including searching, thinking, coding, typing, reading follow-ups, etc...
5) What is the time spend on average?
6) ...
If I am in that position, I'll start to worry:
1) Did I spend too much time here?
2) Is that a compulsive behavior or addiction?
3) Should we encourage people to do so?
4) Is this going to jeopardize someone's other part of life?
5) What if ... sees this?
6) ...
This is just my own thinking, and I want to encourage others thinking differently in the celebrating drums or fireworks...
It might be considered destructive to JavaRanch. Please feel free to delete this one. I'll not accuse you as *ist.

Thanks!
