Steve D'Aprano, you're the "master". What's wrong with this concatenation statement?

People are more likely to reply to you if your posting style makes you
enjoyable instead of annoying to engage with.  That's community spirit.
Friendly participation is always welcomed even when the person is new or
otherwise not highly knowledgeable.

Failing that, if you're a knowledgeable enough developer that people
learn things from your posts even at moments when your style is
annoying, they might interact with you for the self-interested sake of
benefiting from access to your knowledge.  There are some regulars here
whose stuff is always worth reading even though they can be prickly at
times.

If you don't bring worthwhile amounts of knowledge AND your posting
style is annoying, there's a considerable incentive to not bother
reading your stuff at all.  That will tend to decrease the amount of
replies you receive.

Hope this helps!
