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. |
I think everyone here can agree with the above. Of course it should be fun and the quality of the communication is most important.
I honestly think that it is not what I'm talking about. It doesn't happen often our community does not run roughshod like others. In fact, we've probably paid it more attention than it should be due. I think what not a single one of us can agree upon is where and when zingers and snark are appropriate because as Jazz has said before, sometimes they have broken the stalemate of the conversation.
I'd like to thank each and every one of you that is engaged in this conversation. It's a bit frustrating to me when I sit in my head and try to figure it out, but it's not my job to do it alone, that's why this is a community.
