What would you guess is your lurve to comment ratio?

In this comment, one jelly notes that, while they have upwards of 350 lurve, they have not yet given out any lurve. It made me wonder how people compare in terms of how how frequently they give out lurve. We’ve talked about this before, but I don’t know if we’ve ever come up with concrete comparisons.

No one counts, I’m sure, but if you had to guess, how many comments do you look at before you give out one lurve, on average? For me, I think I probably give out lurve, on average, once per two or three questions. Say forty to eighty comments, on average, per question (just a wild guess), and I’m giving out lurve at a rate somewhere around one per 120 to 240 comments. Just a guess, though.

If Bendrew can provide data on the range and frequency of lurve/comment by jelly (no names, of course), it might be easier to decide where to place yourself. I’m dreaming. They can’t possibly know how many questions (and which questions—in order to count up comments) everyone has observed, can they? Do they even have a way to count up lurve given by jelly?

After we’ve got a little data, could you offer an opinion that might explain lurve rates?
