Are you stimulating?
Discussion
I was prompted by this thread:
www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=141&t=162322
Which refers to PH points. In it somebody referred to quality not quantity. That got me thinking, presumably the quality of a thread is measurable by the number of posts.
Take this simple test. Click what's new, my stuff.
Add up the posts in the first ten "Topics I've Started"
Score as follows:
0-200 I am Steve Davis describing a red snooker ball
200-500 I am the Sahara, kind of interesting in a sandy sort of way
500-1000 I have stimulated
>1000 I reply to a lot of my own threads!

Steve Davising at the moment, but currently being let down by two technical feedback posts (Ted's very quick off the mark) and 1 spotted - only the spottee needed reply!
Normally I'd say I was about Sahara level - ok but probably not going to be missed that much when I go on me hols.
Which is probably healthy!

You can see what this is getting at, right?
The (hypothetical) PH'er whose ten latest threads started were queries of a technical nature, is according to this yardstick about as stimulating as Valium.
The (again hypothetical) PH'er whose last ten threads started are ten times 'Hello, I'm a girl' in ten different fora or clad in ten different thin veils, however...
