George, George, George.

I don't think you're helping your cause by quoting our friend Påls attempt to 
calm everyone down last week.

That was written at a time when people were complaining that your posts were 
not being constructive or relevant.

If you are so keen on using other peoples words in place of any actual 
contribution/opinion/advice/knowlege of your own, please consider this 
posting, which you've obviously not seen yet:

There is no post count here, no points to be earned by saying something in 
every thread. Although on one hand you're being quite polite about it, your 
empty posts are getting irritating.
Inaccurate/unfiltered search links are NOT a substitute for research.

You're allowed, expected to have opinions of your own (I haven't seen one yet).
You may disagree with others on practical points, but not personal ones.
I'd be interested to hear you draw on the experience you say you have, tell us 
what you think, what you've learned, what you've seen done and how you do it.
But all we've seen is vacuous post-farming, karma-whoring and alt.cascade 
tactics. (Sorry for the obscure terms, but you know where Google is)

Honestly mate, think a bit harder, and make your posts count.
