I have devised a mathematical measure I call the Online Passive-Active Activity Ratio! (It may not form a witty acronym but it trips off the tongue exceedingly well, methinks.)
In simplest terms, it is the number of reactions you have ever given divided by the number of pages in your 'All Activity' log, quantifying the balance between your 'passive' reaction-giving activity and your 'active' posting activity (larger ratios mean more passive activity than active activity and vice versa for smaller ratios). It tends towards relatively large numbers, so I have compiled a technically nonrandom representative sample using the ratios of a few friends of mine (accurate as of the time of publication of this status):
@Arid_Blitz - 14.4,
@Clod - 80.6,
@Frostgage - 33.0,
@Jeric - 34.2 (perhaps not so much 'friend' as 'god-liege', but still a valid data point),
@Mirage - 85.9,
@Phosphor - 85.4,
@Randimaxis - 53.4 (whom I dare consider a friend but also like maybe a sort of quasi-god-liege but with extra corn chips),
@Soren Peregrine - 173.6,
@TigerGeekGuy - 98.8,
@Widdershins - 53.1, and, last but certainly not least,
yours truly @Duality with a respectable 96.0 (although this very status might tweak that result slightly downwards).
Interestingly enough, there seem to be distinct brackets of passive-active ratio values, with the range 33-35 containing 18% of data points (dubbed the 'amicable bracket' pending further research), the range 53-54 containing 18% of data points (the 'chaotic bracket'), the range 80-86 containing 27% of data points (the 'reserved bracket'), and the range 96-99 containing 18% of data points (the 'lurker bracket'). The bracket widths are only about three ratio units apiece, on average, which are very small ranges for the quantity of data contained in each and the 66 ratio units over which the main body of data ranges.
@Arid_Blitz with his Pokemon posts and @Soren Peregrine with his apparently quite intense brohoofing sprees are in leagues all their own, with a tiny 14.4 (incredibly active activity) and a whopping 173.6 (ludicrous amounts of passive activity), respectively.
Fun times with statistics.

Also, @Jeric, I have one tiny question:
<- What is this monstrosity?
You apparently gave this reaction to someone at some point in the past, although I have no idea what they could have done to bring your eldritch wrath to bear upon them in such a terrifying form.

Objection to your objection! I already thought of that! Your 'All Activity' log records status updates and replies to status updates as well as all actual posts!

Also, you don't react 50-odd times more often than you post - the number used to determine post quantity is the number of pages in your activity log, not the number of posts you've ever made. There's about 25 posts to a page of log, so you react at approximately twice the frequency that you post content. I, for comparison, react about four times as often as I post content, and @Soren Peregrine reacts about seven times as often as he posts content.

I'll have you know that this is at least college-level maths, since it's both self-directed and original research.

i named the bracket after your personality frosty-chan <3
You're the only one on the list who actually posts content more often than you react to content. Your game has been upped further than anyone else already.
