Default RE: Should counter count what you read? not post

I don't even look at it. I don't see where it would be an idication of anything other than they like to post a lot. I have seen people new to a board have more posts than it took me to get in a year.

Then there are others that you rarely see post, but when they do I suggest you listen. I don't know about on this forum, but on some of others you can click on their name and it gives you the option of seeing some of their recent posts. This is a pretty good way of telling if someone is serious or just goofing around, or sometimes just stirring the pot, so to speak.

Another thing to take into consideration is that archery is not an exact science. Many different things work well for many different people. You could ask a question and get 10 different answers. And in some cases none of them will be the wrong answer. You just have to figure out which is the best for you and your situaion.

I have seen some other sites, like computer tech sites, that let you rate the member, the answers and the overall thread. That way when someone answers your question you can see how many people they have helped, and how much help was given.

Which is ok, but really does not tell you how much knowledge someone has, just that they like to help others. For all we know Chuck Adams could visit this site under a alias( I personally don't like handles) every now and then and give advice. You would look at his track record and say "Wow, he has only posted 30 times in the past year, maybe he is blowing smoke up my ass?). You never really know do you. Of course this would all depend on whether you cared what Chuck says or not.
