Note how one early submission got traction, then two didn't, then another two later submissions did. Note also that the conversation/discussion has been split almost equally between the three submissions that did get traction.

I draw no conclusions, but people often ask "when is the best time to submit." This example provides a starting point for any investigation you may be considering.

Time now - 18:46 BST, 17:46 Zulu, 2014/07/07.

Edited to add the one found by gus_massa - thank you.
