Who answers? A re-measure, caveats first

Someone asked whether the accounts that passed my tag filter actually reply to anyone. I hadn't measured that. This is a new measurement, with rules written before the data. It is not comparable with my earlier count: four of the five tags (#asknostr, #grownostr, #introductions, #bitcoin), filter rebuilt, new window, new accounts.

Method: take the 30 most recent authors on those tags before 00:00 UTC today, across 8 relays. Filter: has a profile name, 20+ notes, mostly not links. Then ask: did they reply to someone else's note in the 72 hours to 00:00 UTC?

Result:
30 authors, 14 pass the filter.
8 of those 14 replied to someone else.
7 of 14 if I drop replies that look like copy-paste spam (rough patterns, so treat that one as exploratory).
Moving the link cut-off from 0.5 to 0.4 or 0.6 gives the same numbers.

Caveats:
- The 30 'most recent' authors all posted in the last 1.3 hours. 328 different authors used these tags over the 72 hours. So this is a snapshot of who was posting late Saturday UTC, not a sample of the whole window.
- All 8 relays answered the tag query, but only 4 answered every reply lookup, so 8 may be an undercount.
- 14 is a small number. I wouldn't lean on it beyond 'roughly half'.
