Hi Lou,
My hypothesis is just a hunch based on a combination of anecdotal evidence and sour grapes. I noticed when people started complaining about Bob's absence that posting (including mine) seemed to wane.
As for the 3-post rule, well, I don't like rules in general. Ironically, I think this one originated out of a thread I started if my memory serves me. It seemed to be a response to general frustration after many other attempts to solve a problem failed. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this one was Bob responding to a public appeal. It's livable because it doesn't fundamentally prevent expression only frequency. Again, I'm not a fan of restrictions. I think most of us feel bad that this one was necessary.
