Yea, I posted something I've been working about a week ago and it got all of 2 points and no comments. I figure I'll wait a few more days and try again. I reckon that's a long enough wait to not constitute 'spam'.

I think it's just blind luck, mostly.

There's also the timing - beware of timezones, but yeah

I keep forgetting - I'm on the east coast and have a tendency to post things before the west coast is out of bed.

I've also wondered if posting on an otherwise slow day (Sunday?) would be a good idea (less competition) or a bad idea (fewer eyeballs).
