Basically it's quality over quantity.

Which I'm finding is the best thing about this site. 80 days into my first year here!

No, not basically that. It is an aspect of the greater picture, but to reduce my post to that would lose the nuance. The difference is the value I give to a post, not just the value that the post already has. Reddit might have the exact same article, but I give it much more thought here than on there, because I know that it might spawn a good discussion.

Simplifying a statement always reduces some quality, but if you simplify too much you might lose it completely.
