I can think of times when I've been the single up-vote and/or single comment on a submission of yours. The most recent one that comes to mind easily is your post on a claim about total memory in ancient computers (I think it was 53K in 1953 if my memory serves). It wasn't that the post lacked detail or depth, instead, it's a problem of varying interests; few people have an interest in ancient computer system design and history, let alone know what "mercury delay line" memory is. When you combine a more esoteric interest with the fast queue of the HN '/newest' page, the result is an exposure, visibility, and discovery problem, rather than any real flaw in your content. Also, robertjmoore, thanks for a great article with data.
