Why specifically are you doing it? Are you trying to break a record?

The more people you help, the lower quality you provide. Wouldn't it be better to ascertain the level quality responses you're willing to give to people on this forum and then determine the amount of people you can give that quality to without compromising your other personal goals.

For example. Say you grade quality in such a way

A- Long, good, detailed response
B- Moderate above-average response
C- Two-four lines of generic advice

Once you choose which you want. For example say you choose A and due to your personal schedule, you can only provided 2 A-quality posts per day. And that's what you do. Each day, you crank out 2 A-quality responses to questions which you carefully choose as not all questions merit an A-quality response.

Benefits of this is you would only choose questions in which you are able provide A-quality responses since your knowledge of personal development is probably specialized in a specific area to which you've had extensive experience. Imagine if the only responses you posted on this forum were high quality. Therefore you'd actually end up helping more people than the people you specifically reply to as people do also search archives for previously answered questions that pertain to them. That would more helpful in the sense that you would gain a good reputation for posting high quality responses, which would prompt members here to specifically seek out your responses on the field of personal development that you specialize in.

Like me. When I have a generic problems in my life, I just visit Steve's site. I've associated his ideas with quality so that's usually the only site I go to. I find other sites say more or less what he has to say so I just go to his site.

What do you think?
