Many experts with many posts. Who actually has contributed something for you in anyway? There could be many more in the list, but I only put the 4000 + posts group. For me MikeEnRegalia has an opinion I always read. Now it is up to you. We are great in putting music in boxes, how about people.

Questions like these are difficult because it is easy to offend the people that you didn't name. I like all the above posters and enjoy all their posts,but I have to go with MikeEnRegalia. Always very considerate and informative,I value his opinion and he has opened me up to a lot of music I think I would have missed otherwise. -------------  |

And while I picked Mike,I also checked the "amount of posts don't matter,only quality counts",because I think that is true. ------------- |

Would "I´m not sure" count as a valuable contribution? I´ve read posts like that, or like: "YES rules", "Me too", "Yeah, Fripp".... I could get a hundred posts like those in one day. I would be a "collaborator" in about 20 days. |

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.

Vote for Threefates; she's probably got the most pro-ELP postings of any of them. ------------- "The red polygon's only desire / is to get to the blue triangle." |

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. -------------

Well, if I must be serious... The amount of posts does not matter. Only quality counts. I voted again for that ^ |

Mike contributes almost the same amount as me... he's a valuable asset and he is a very well respected poster here. -------------

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. 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.

Quality > quantity. Simplify your posts, y'all! Less = more. (No, less is NOT a bore!)

MikeEnRegalia... I also enjoy reading Snow Dogs, Sigod, and Tony R's posts. I've also enjoyed more recent contributors input; fandango, Bob Greece and maidenrulz.. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |
