on some of the large threads there is less viewers then repliers, how can that happen?

I think (but don't really know) that the number of views is counting different people, so if you look in again it won't count the second or subsequent look.
Any replies are counted, whether or not they are from the same poster.

many people might look at a thread, but decline to make a post........whereas threads like the quizzes get posters but not many casual viewers

I'm never sure if it's helpful to know how many people have read a thread and decided not to respond.
