I run into the same thing all the time with my own special hobby interests, and it's very frustrating. But I can't make everyone else have the same interests that I do, and demanding equal discussion time with things that are much more popular than my interests, is ridiculous.

Music was a decent analogy, but you're right, I didn't need to word it like an a--hole. I'm sure most people don't post about the esoteric sets they collect because the last thing they need is a new collector in the bidding pool... But some people here share incredible research and only a few even acknowledge with a thank you, and the thread dies; yet, "what's your favorite tree in the background of a t206?" becomes a three day discussion.
I shouldn't even be posting about this, I like to read all of the threads here. I look at all the t206 threads. If there was some kind of limit to them there wouldn't be very much going on here.
I just think it would be nice if some other sets/threads got respect too.
