Do you have a link to a posting and how it looks? It would be interested
to see how quoality posting is measured. Qantity posting is something I am
very much against. Especially because people might start posting just to
be in the top 100. That would be posting for the wrong reason.

Also I am sure you are aware that quantity is absolutely no measure of
how valuable postings are.
