I often find that posts on the internet which are interesting and well 
thought out get very few replies -- particularly if they're outside of 
everyone's area of expertise.  I suppose it's because none of the 
potential respondents has anything relevant and of substance to add, and 
comments like "wow, that's neat!" you'd typically hear in normal 
conversation don't flow as well in a non-chat-oriented medium.  At least 
that's the case with me and this post, and I assume with others as well. 
  I agree it can be discouraging though since from the poster's end 
there's no way to differentiate between "interested but don't have 
anything to add" and "not interested".

In order to get replies, it seems best to post something incorrect in an 
area where plenty of people have enough knowledge to point out your mistake.
