I want to hear from the over 10,000 post people....

[patrice]

61. Posting links to interesting articles, along with a couple of paragraphs or sentences excerpted from

the linked article is a good way to increase your post count, because people will see the article and engage you in discussion about it.

Also, posting brief replies to what others post, or to their replies, is another way to increase your post count fast. Your brief replies could be things like "Agree" or some people post "Kick!" or "K&R" (which stands for Kick & Recommend) in order to add more replies to a Thread so that the system will make it rise to the top of the Latest Threads feed again.

Another good way to add to your post count is to ask questions. That could be questions about anything you don't understand or it could be questions about issues related to a post, issues that add information or add perspective.

Another way to add to your post count is to copy the portions of an original post in a thread, or even any portion of Replies, that you like best and then say why you like what you have copied.

Don't worry about your writing skills, just do your best and people will understand better than you think and the more that you do the more that you will improve. And if anyone should be rude about you writing, just alert on them and the jury system will deal with any rudeness that's going on.
