Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

In my experience, most office workers will sit for hours and will only rise to go to the restroom, eat, or smoke. They won't even roll their chair back enough to stand for awhile. I have seen people come in at 8:00 and not move from their desks until lunchtime, and sometimes not even then.

    This brings to mind a conference call that I had to suffer through a few weeks ago. The conference call was scheduled for 90 minutes but lasted for 3 1/2 hours. Everyone was seated the entire time and the only reason anyone ever got up was to make a quick dash to the restroom. The common sense thing would have been to have a 10-15 minute break (or two) sometime during that conference call so every person would be free to stretch his or her legs for an extended time without missing anything.
