At the risk of getting it bit off and spat back at me I'm going to stick my nose into this. The water level of XPT is not determined by how many Monkeys, Arabs, James, Simps, etc that are thrown into it. It is determined by how many Lockwoods, Lori Lusts, Luke Fords, and the like that are thrown into it. Reality and delusions make for better material than straight fiction no matter how good the writer of the fiction is. When XPT is on the upswing it is because these usual suspects are in full bloom, when XPT enters the horse latitudes it is because these same folk, or at least their typical behavior is in hibernation. The posts are only going to be as good as the material that inspires them.

Of course I've only been here a month or so what the hell do I know?
