I honestly don't see such a big deal about WP. For some people, that's their style. Alex doesn't even post much over there anymore. When i first joined, I was still flyin in under the radar. I came in as a parent and didn't out myself until I had been there for a few years. At the time, the parenting section was awesome.
I still say, different strokes for different folks. If that's their style and it works for them, leave them be.
