there were 17 notables in the list called 'bloatables" out of 751
this is not a large %
since people can't be here 24/7 the notables make it easier to catch up, but it also means that someone who was not there when the original comment was made sees it
this sometimes leads to more info being added, hence lb, pb posts
more exposure to information is better not worse
it is not much harder to scan 20 notables than 10 and who knows what can be found with many people of various special interests and knowledge digging
