Two observations:

I only pay attention to post counts when something is being offered up for sale. Like when a 430w is offered by someone for a rediculas good price and it is their first post.

Finally, like my pappy used to say, "if you don't have something good to say, don't say anything" I read the forums everyday but only contribute when I feel I have something of value to add.

Zackly! Once again, Dan hits the rivet on the head.

I must say, I've never looked at post counts. I come here to a) get help with specific issues, and b) to offer help in areas where I can. I just told an airline pilot and searching RV buyer this past week, "EVERYthing you ever wanted to know about RVs - and some things you didn't - are in the VAF Forums. It's an amazing resource. "

Been heads-down in airplane and home projects (and a little racing), so post count has stagnated, but keep watching and finding gems here. Sad to see the thread that generated this discussion...between two fellas I have met and respect/value the opinion of.

But the community will still thrive with the "wisdom of the crowd" and DR at the rudder. Interesting numbers Dan, and great point about the value, versus the domination, of the top ten...and many others! Thanks for that!

Cheers,

I think the only time I look at post count is in the classifieds section. I figure someone with a higher post count is likely more committed to the forum, and less likely to do something that may tarnish their reputation here.
