Remainer, leftie, all that jazz. The carousel never stops turning.

The other factor is that many of the recipients are on both sites. So maybe they have already seen your output from that site and don't particularly want to see it reproduced again here.

If you run a telephone network, on the other hand, your costs go up faster as you sign up new subscribers. That's because the infrastructure necessary to connect all these people scales quadratically.
