It is fascinating, to say the least. As a sociologist my initial task is to figure out what the best way to collect data is, to answer these questions - the database and the various reports are an obvious starting point, but not enough! I'd love to have the time to interview/ survey some of the people with dead accounts - the 90% in other words.

I think BS above has a point, but I really don't want to wade into that particular war.

On current evidence I'm leaning towards the idea that linear rewards and unregulated self-voting are terrible foundation-principles!
