Airbus vs Boeing threads

Hi all..

I have been wondering for some time why most threads on "Tech log" seems to revolve around Airbusses. On page one I count 10 theads which are directly related to Airbus, either in the title or in reference to a flight number like AF447/XL888T where most of the discussion revolves around the Airbus philosophy. Conversely, there are now only two threads on page one which mentions Boeing.

I'm not trying to start yet another lengthy thead about Boeing vs Airbus but this has been like this for a long time.

Could this have something to do with the complexity of the Airbus?
Do most pilots nowadays start their career on Airbus and therefore have many questions to ask?

Ryanair and Norwegian uses Boeings so in that respect we should see lots of questions asked about Boeing as well.
Although we have maybe nowadays more Airbusses flying in Europe compared to Boeing, the discussion is really disproportional.

What do you think?
