<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2557182, member: 112&quot;]Well ya see that&#039;s kind of the thing, what you, or I, or any of of the other individual members, see as being a &quot;good thing&quot; is almost always quite different. In other words, what you see as good somebody else might see as bad. That&#039;s what I&#039;m talking about when I say the chocolate and vanilla syndrome. Just like with different flavors of ice cream everybody has different tastes and opinions on what constitutes a good thread or bad thread, a fun thread or not so fun thread. </p><p><br /></p><p>For example, some of your comments might be intended to stimulate conversation, disseminate information and increase activity, from your point of view; but others who read them will often see them, interpret them, quite differently thinking your intention is merely to increase controversy and argument.</p><p><br /></p><p>Others might think that in order for a thread to be considered to be a good or high quality thread that the conversation needs to be lengthy and go on for several pages. But in my opinion some of the very best threads we&#039;ve ever had were actually quite short. Sometimes even a single post might be the determining factor for making a high quality thread. And yet other times some are quite lengthy. </p><p><br /></p><p>The issue is that almost everybody is different, they see things in different ways and have different opinions - on just about everything. They have different likes, different dislikes, rarely is there ever any consensus because of that. And that&#039;s why rarely is there ever anything that actually works to, as I said above - increase member participation, and instill and promote an interest in higher quality, educational posts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
