I mean the AI he has in his signature. I had to do a search by signature, as we had yesterday and had to binary click (C) through 122 pages of Marc's postings before finding the first results I was looking for. And that in less than 10 months. How do you put artificial intelligence into the signature, anyway?

It's a very clever signature.

Someone was searching for postings containing the words 'artificial intelligence' and got many results from Marc because his signature contains these words.

I hope they don't debug this important feature away. A search for unique parts of the signature is often better than the official options.

The last time I had a question answered was in Septermber 2015.
Two questions in 2014 recived a combined total of five answers, leaving those out we have to go all the way back to 2011 for my record - 4 responses. In 2011 / 2012 I could fairly consistently count on 2 responses.
What do I need to do differently for a better response rate?

It really depends on the questions. A detailed description of the problem and the occurung errors are helpful. A lot of answering can do the Google search box 
Press F1 for help or google it.

That can also be a detriment. If you fully explain a problem and provide comprehensive example code, people lose interest/get bored, and move on.

First - maybe there are no people who knows the answer...
Second - if you try to do a statistics, do it right... You have asked 43 questions over the years and 35 of them got answer - that's 80%, which is way over average...
Third - both of your latest questions got comments, which means people didn't ignored you. But to be honest, I see a problem with your questions. It is a site where the common language is English, but the language we all (most) really understand is code! So if your English is not understand by some and there is no code to support it, it goes done much faster...

Well, you've already got 5 answers to this question, so that seems to be way better than average...

If it's perceived that the answer given is correct, why would anyone want to bother adding to it? Really, isn't all your want one right answer ?

That's exactly it. He has a question but he is reticent to post it because he feels that he won't get an answer. And what is implied in his non-posting is that he feels someone DOES in fact have the exact answer to the problem but is withholding the answer for some reason known only to that potential answerer.
Which is something because he might not even notice this answer because he is unattentive to the thread or has invested little time establishing a rapport with someone posting inside of it and wouldn't expect any headsup from someone who does notice things like this.

Could that be rephrased as:
"It's a conspiracy against him because those who give him something for nothing are not giving him enough." ?

I've been watching questions for a number of years, and I seem to see a pattern emerging...
Keep your question vague and ambiguous, ask something that someone can somehow construe as controversial, and if at all possible, don't ask for an answer, but rather ask for others to commiserate on how much of a victim you are. None of this helps you get an answer, but it gets the question attention. Eventually, someone will chime in with an actual answer.
[Yes, this is tongue-in-cheek.. but I'm not kidding about the emerging pattern thing.]

Coming from years of using TeamCity, Jenkins, Hudson, JIRA, BugZilla, YouTrak etc, etc, I've had to start using VSTS.
I can't figure out if I'm being a luddite or it isn't that great a tool. I'm finding it a really unpleasant experience. It feels like it's in my way rather than helping me.
The total lack of time booking to tasks is just plain odd. You can only leave time on a task or add remaining time, there's no facility to say I did 3 hours on this ... I'm just not groking it.
It feels like there are so many screens and pages to delve into to do even the simplest of things.
Am I alone?

You may have it set for the wrong paradigm. We have ours set for Scrum so it allows only an estimate of future time cost (and even that's unnecessary).
If you want actual time cost you may have to tweak the configuration to allow that.

NOT.
On a job interview the R&D manager [a technically strong person, but not the innovative type] told me:
"You should know that we use CVS here. Some of the young guys tell me we should switch to git. I always ask them to convince me. But no one has succeeded [hah!]"
... such stuff as dreams are made on
