We are mostly too polite to say such things unless a person is really
obnoxious, which you definitely do not seem to be as evidenced by this
query.

At any one time, there is only a limited mindspace available for
actively discussed threads.  Sometimes deserving topics slip in
between.  Sometimes I see a post that 'calls' for a response, but I do
not know what to say, or assume that someone else will (or maybe has
already) answer.

Willingness to pay is 'odd' only in that it tends to be unusual.  Did
you mention this originally?
