"Remember: if they’re in here racking up a dozen or more posts a day, and have a post count in the thousands, they are not out there really working."
I beg your pardon. I have thousands of posts, but they are spread over YEARS. I have shops today, and every day for the next two weeks. And I'll drive over 300 miles a day, on average, to complete them.
My time here is "down time" for me, when I decompress, sometimes vent, sometimes teach, and often learn.
In other words, I work my you-know-what off.
