But this is assuming quantity over quality. There are some people who
rarely (or never) post to this list who I consider important people in
the SL4 community because of the quality of the things they say. I
could post things that are just barely SL4-relevant every day, but that
wouldn't really make me a leader, it would just make me annoying.
The real trick is to make high quality posts often. Barring that, I
prefer good posts to lots of posts.
(I realize this is just your opinion of how to judge who the leaders
are, but I disagree with quantity as a metric enough to respond. Don't
take it personally; make your decisions however you want.)
