Opinions, anyone?

[Barry Arrowsmith]

I've been thinking, er, no; rephrase that. I've been wondering - what 
makes a Fantastic Post? Have any been so categorised in the first 
10,000 reviewed?

We have the category in the list, but so far as I'm aware there's no 
guide on what's likely to fit. Subjectivity looks like it will  be the 
name of the game and that makes me slightly uncomfortable.

We each favour certain styles, subject matter, even length - and 
possibly prejudices against others. I freely admit that I'd be biased 
against a SHIPping post, no matter how well conceived and written. A 
sense of humour can be a very individual thing, too. Kneasy certainly 
gets mails about his.

And how fantastic is Fantastic? A perfect 100%, or will 95% suffice?
Or should it be looked at another way - maybe estimate that FPs turn up 
on average once every say, 5,000 posts and so that means the best 20 
-25 on the list get the accolade?

Any ideas on how we sort the sheep from the goats?
