indeed - why can't it be both?
I would put it differently - folks who work 24/7 are rarely in a forum. When I'm in the middle of a month long 24/7 project I certainly don't post as much as I do when I'm working from home and need to take periodic "ear breaks". My presence in the forum has more to do with whether I'm working alone or in a group than anything else!
In other words, my availability in the forums has nothing to do with whether I'm a power user or not, and more to do with what type of project I'm currently engaged in.

Exactly! I use forums as a bit of sorbet between courses of a meal. I respond to a few points, which gives me the equivalent of a reset button. Instead of waiting a couple of hours, I can see or hear things anew. It's a shame that some take things so seriously that it's hard to hold a dialogue: it becomes more important to win the argument, as opposed to understanding another point of view.
