The battle of the oldies!

Post count is overrated.

I know, I have nearly 17, 000 on another board.

All named are key players in weaving the intricate fabic that makes PA so interesting, compelling, informative, annoying and fun. Long may they post.

OK, it was expected that option 13 would be the winner. Although you could consider the following: someone has a quality rate of 5%, meaning he only has posted 5% of his posts actually making someone laugh or opened someones eyes or made a difference in a discussion. This guy has posted 5000 times, which means 250 posts. That is a lot for someone who considers himself just a flabbermouth.
Secondly I think the amount of posts is being considered as a psychological warranty that the information is correct. Two oldies can easiliy claim that Peter Gabriel left Genesis due to the fact that his lovers relationship with Kate Bush was not appreciated by the band, since it affected the music. The confirmation of a third oldie would certainly make it the truth for all and expecially newbies.
(you guys have the power to change history)
Note that posts from newbies get less reads than posts by an oldie.

No one could take offence by getting a compliment and one could only be motivated to express his/ her knowledge and opinion more firmly or actually make very big jokes (that is certainly a welcome contribution as well).
Man with Hat you have got a vote. Now what pills do you recommend?

BTW, I expected some more resistance with this more personal question. It is difficult to put labels on music, but it is even more difficult to put labels on people.

I go with MikeEnRegalia, he always posts something important to say, and it often has reason and is very well thought out. Very good work Mike!

I don't deserve any votes. I don't contribute anything to this site.

I think that everyone has a different quality that they bring to the table.  It is fun to read posts from the "regulars" because I feel like I  know them pretty well just from their posts, even though I've never even met them in person.  It is impossible to pick somebody, and I agree that quality is more important than quantity, so I voted for the last option. 

People that always have something interesting to say:  Maani, Easy Livin, Snowdog, Ivan, Tony, Mark the Shark, Danbo, Peter, Salmacis, Trouserpress, Mike EnRegalia, ...the list goes on.  I am so very sorry for leaving anyone out.

I could get a hundred posts like those in one day. I would be a "collaborator" in about 20 days. post counts cant make you a collaborator unfortunately The Miracle, you voted for yourself!

what makes you think so?
