Amen to that.

A long while back (back in the hey-day) I think some one cataloged
posts over a period of time and determined who the most prolific
posters were. I think at that time, I was #3 or something like that.
However, I would say that at that time the top 5 or more posters were
also the most detailed, best documented, and most insightfull posters
who stimulated the best discussions. So posting volume itself is not
an indicator of quality.

Perhaps you are right. True, we do periodically complain, so maybe we
are just seeing a normal flucuation, but I really miss discussions
with people who had deep insightful opinions and idea. I will admit,
there have been a few discussion recently that had some depth. So,
it's not all bad.
