I've been watching these forums and I find that most of the entries amount to very little. A lot of what goes on has very little content, and a great many answers are completely wrong-headed. I do not discount everything, there are some very interesting subjects, but the signal to noise ratio is so low that any emergent connexions are lost in considerable static. While this site does foster communication, overall it seems to favor the expression of opinion and perception, but thins the flow of actual information. Answering questions has a great emphasis here--especially answering in a way the asker will like, but answering questions *well* has no emphasis at all. This is fine for initiating conversation, but not for discussions of any depth, nor for actually finding answers to questions, especially for questions of theory or fact.
Have you any suggestions that might improve this site's content? Or any ideas that would bring me better results?
I do hope for some good answers.
