I used to wonder why Phillipa responded to all sorts of posts when I couldn't see why. Then I noticed something: the "notify you of later follow-ups to this thread" checkbox. Phillipa has even said once or twice that she's responding in order to follow the thread.
That's not how I read the board, but I know a lot of people here do that. (I just scan for what might interest me, when I am in the mood. Chacun a son gout.) It's a perfectly legitimate reason to respond to a post, though, in my opinion.
Besides, when Phillipa does respond for that reason, she's always polite at worst, and friendly at best. If anyone doesn't want to read that, there are options to avoid it. Including, I'd add, the option of just not reading her posts...
