From what I gathered from skimming and reading here and there, your campaigns seem to have an atypically high focus on sub-granular details, and that's in a community of a system that is already infamous for being focused on fiddly little details.

(IIRC it's been Kromm who once pointed out that the SJGames forum is already a much more crunchy crowd than the GURPS crowd in general. [But I don't have a quote and may be misremembering.])
