Poll question: What's your post count style: Quality or Quantity?
Edited on Mon Feb-21-05 09:44 AM by MrScorpio
Me, I like quality. I'm no post count whore. But on the other hand there are lots of threads that I like but I don't want jump into because I know that I probably won't get a reponse to.

I'll say one thing though. I don't feel that a post count is an accurate way to gauge a poster.

It's what one has to say that really counts.

9. Yes, JJ spams the Lounge with posts; all of them uniquely relevant.
She has a lot of important stuff to say, right?

11. Ha! Well...
I think "uniquely relevant" is a good way of putting it!

13. That's not true! In fact, you have entered the "no Spam Zone."

12. What I meant was that JimmyJazz established the quality in quantity
arguement. After I busted her chops, of course. ;)

2. I'm a quanity poster, who voted for "quality."
But, I don't think one has to be long winded and/or terribly selective, to make quality contributions.

:hi:

5. how about neither
I have a little over 5,000 in about 18 months, which is peanuts compared to many on here.

And, I'm sure in those 5,000 there are very few quality posts. Mostly sarcastic responses.

6. Quality, usually...
Although I love some of our more "Quantitative" posters, my biggest pet peeve is when a newbie comes on and starts a "help me get to 1,000 posts" thread. Like, who cares! In all the time I have been around, it seems that those people are the ones who are gone in six months anyways.

Then again, there are times that I get a little carried away and post a gazillion things in one or two days...then you don't see me for a week. But in the end... Quality, baby...it's all about the quality!

19. both. I can't resist one-liners
then there are those posts that just set you off- for half an hour. (don't you hate when you go to type a long post and the thread has already been locked?!)

23. I think I fall into the quantity side
more than the quality side. With the exception of music posts, of course.
