Totally unrelated to this topic...

Do you know why your submissions are all marked [dead]? Mine started to do that a couple of days ago and I'm trying to figure out why. Looking at your submission history it looks like it is permanent for you.

Really? That's a bit unnerving, and I can't understand why. It would certainly account for a lack of traction, and the fact that the same stuff gets submitted later and attracts comments....

So to answer your question: I didn't know and I have no idea.

Just looking at your submissions, they are not marked Dead as far as I can see.... http://imgur.com/na2DuiK
