Yep, and it's often me.

Being funny and being fun are a key part of what TFP is about.

My point was that you cannot weigh quality. A short post can be pithy and apposite, on target and help further the discussion - a post like "have you considered it might be X" can steer something a way that helps it along, whilst at the same time another post could be full of verbiage and bluster but simply be re-stating items that had been covered above.
Having a standard of QUALITY is far more useful than having a standard of QUANTITY, but is also more subjective. Subjectivity sadly can become a popularity contest, and I have no idea how you resolve that.
