Re: My counter reports incorrect number of posts
I have learned long ago that one should never trust the post count to count for experience or expertise.

Re: My counter reports incorrect number of posts
Well I suppose everyone may have an opinion on that but I expect that someone who has bothered to be involved with a forum for years rather than days or even months might reasonably have learned much during those years. Yes, not every possible subject would the long timer might feel able/capable of addressing but when they do for me at least, I am prepared to give more weighting to their input than a newbie.Eadwine Rose wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 5:14 am I have learned long ago that one should never trust the post count to count for experience or expertise.

I think that a better measure of possible expertise with MX is to look at the date that a poster joined the forum, which is printed under their user name on every post.Well I suppose everyone may have an opinion on that but I expect that someone who has bothered to be involved with a forum for years rather than days or even months might reasonably have learned much during those years.

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Re: My counter reports incorrect number of posts
Yes j2 that likely is a similar (possibly superior) gauge. Of course, then you get to the nuances of dates and number of posts with the former being credible enough but the latter indicating to some degree at least, a preparedness to engage with what mostly populates forums like these - questions. I don't believe a casual poster is necessarily as equipped as his counterpart in both a long time forum member and number of posts. Simply, someone who doesn't post is not going to post if he doesn't understand or know the answer to the question. Yes, I've posted many suggestions without necessarily holding myself up as an "expert" but the contributions I have made usually come from experience with similar or same issues the person needing help with has posed.

Re: My counter reports incorrect number of posts
Can we lay this matter to rest please? We are not going to change our policy of handling things.

Re: My counter reports incorrect number of posts
More than happy to lay it to rest Eadwine. I was when I marked it solved. At the same time, J2's comments deserved a reply. Over and out.
