Perhaps another good way to determi=
\nne signal\/noise ratio is to watch how many posts are contained in a thread..=
\n.the longer the thread, the more likely a good discussion?  Of course, =
\nsome threads would route around this test like birthday threads, TNO threads=
\n, or the “It’s 4am Who’s Up?” threads.  But I think overall it may work=
\n in conjunction with some other inputs to help “grade” a poster.  Maybe=
\n another dimension could be the frequency in which a poster contributes to t=
\nhreads considered “high signal”?  Then again, Tymm’s recent meteoric ri=
\nse as “most prolific poster” would actually counter this assumption because =
\nso many of his posts are amazingly useful, while many others are as trashy a=
\ns his mom.  OH!!!<\/div>\n

Speaking of long threads, I =
\nnever thought this one would go so long!  I loves it.<\/div>\n

one crude metri=
\nc for determining signal-to-noise ratio might be how many words there were i=
\nn response to a given email… so that would penalize people who killed thre=
\nads and answered questions, and reward people who asked lots of questions an=
\nd started flame wars. maybe you could look for ?marks and flag those as ques=
\ntions to make things a little more nuanced. but then that leaves us (or, at =
\nleast, those who care) jumping through semantic hoops to ask as many questio=
\nns as possible without the appropriate punctuation. does that make any sense=<\/p>\n

alternatively, if words-in-response wasn’t considered a good goal, =
\nyou could invert it to reward the first group (who killed threads and answer=
\ned questions) and penalize the second group (who asked lots of questions and=
\n started flame wars). it of course depends on what sort of environment the P=
\nresident of the List wanted to create.<\/p>\n
