My general rule of thumb evaluating posters is to measure the number of personal trip reports vs overall comment history. While those who do not necessarily post TRs (or provide insight with respect to conditions from recent exposure) may certainly posses suitable experience to still provide helpful advice, the ratio is a clear tell in terms of orientation and intent.
Perhaps a simple equation would suffice: as TR/C -> 0, orientation shifts from positive encouragement, advice and support to lecturing, opinion and elevation of self.
Consider that my own personal ratio has now declined from responding to this thread. If the ratio were to continue its downward trend, then I would self regulate and try to refrain from establishing that type of identity on this board.
Looks like I better get back out there and post some news.
