in thread Chatterbot update

I did some number crunching, to try to come up with something like $NORM for absence time. It turns out that there really isn't one. A human-factors approach is probably better. For you personally, after how long of an absence would you appreciate a "welcome back" message? I think for me it would be 12 months. Someone create a poll.

    I'd probably change the perspective.

    How many public "Welcome back" messages per year are too much to tolerate or too little to be noticed?

    Edit
    We'll only know for sure after trying it out...
