but mostly treat it like a learning algorithm where observations (of both other people and myself) lead to formulating scripts that function better or worse at dealing with certain situations, and updating the network with new information given the observation results :)

That's way more practical than what I did, which was keep the same social skills but collect a lot more theoretical knowledge that I largely refuse to apply. :P But then I'm odd in that I see my low level of socialization as a feature rather than a bug.

I usually start one when I notice the comment count getting near to or above 300

It amuses me that we have two consecutive posts that ended up with exactly 380 comments.

Though I think we've got a rhythm now where each separate thought gets a different thread, which is really helping the navigation process.)

Thank goodness for that! I also like that we eventually settled on keeping thread subjects relevant. That helps too. (Props to selenak for starting that!)

ETA: mildred responded to your anonymous comment below; not sure if you have seen it, because you probably get emailed about direct replies to gambitten but not to anonymous replies?

Ooh, good call! If you don't subscribe to the post, you won't get notified for things like that.
