Tom, I expect better from you than gloating. You're just showing off because Herr Edelstein has decided-due his perception of the slipping my FFL voice, to focus his formidable attention exclusively on you. I could call this a crime of passion but I know you'd just call me a Nancy boy and tell me take a hike.
On more important matters, you continue to amaze with your insights on FFL as a trade-able market. For your consideration, why not establish a word value for each post. Say a word is the same as a centime and there are 100 words allowed in a post. 1 FFL post =100 words (centimes). Then we do a quality assurance reverse numbering system grading the quality of the subject line in the post. None of this 1-10 sort of thing- for the indecisive, we use a 0-2 system where 0 is "satori", 1 is "shows promise" and 2 is 'pretend you haven't read it". Every member is given 50 posts (100 words each) =5000 words but the innovation is that the poster is given extra words depending on the grade of their subject line. The great thing about this system over time the real dummies get more air time and calculated into infinity will either drive the smart asses away or completely over the edge. What do you say, colour me excited! ________________________________ From: Tom Pall <thomas.p...@gmail.com> To: "FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com" <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, August 5, 2011 5:04:28 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Long posts count as two? I must have missed a post or two. That happens when you have to forward posts to places that forward posts so you can read them. But I digress. Is Alex going to start counting long posts as two posts? That doesn't seem fair at all. Those who write long posts like RC, the show salesman who bid us goodbye but stayed, Rory and Ravi to name a few, take up bandwidth but offer little content. I believe their posts should be counted at half or a quarter of the normal rate. Why limit a person to 50 posts if they have have little if anything but a free association of their stream of, ?consciousness? to offer? Let 'em post away. Keeps them off the street where they could wind up raising someone's insurance rates as the drivers, against their better judgement, gun their car's engine and aim straight at them when they see these hopeless ?souls?.
