Yep, from now on, if/when they're apparently needed, I'll (unofficially!) be sending many more, much sooner, still very quiet, "do you realize that there isn't yet a comment from you?" reminders.

I worry that not having a plainly, publicly stated universal rule and penalty could lead to favoritism and tyranny. I worry about a lot of stuff :-) probably beyond sense.

Surely, with a statement of expectations and reminders, it won't happen again. I hope!

Thank you for all your help thinking it through and seeing more pieces of it.
