Great points.
However this ratio shouldn't stop somebody from posting. I post new threads all the time. Not all are American centric. I'd say about 60% or more flop with little or no interest shown.
I chalk it up to either bad timing or simply not a popular topic. To my surprise though some of the threads of mine that took off I didn't think would be that great.
A good topic would likely draw attention to itself regardless...
In other words you wont know until you try and you just never know which ones will be a hit.
