in reply to Better Best Nodes?

I never go to a post through the best list, and to me it means almost nothing, other than some fun statistics. I usually even don't care the gate. I always go through the newest node, picking things in which I am interested.

I judge each node myself based on its quality, not based on its popularity (XP).

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    I congratulate you and ambrus on being able to discern, merely from post titles, whether you're interested in something or not. Certainly I visit the threads whose titles interest me, but I also find that sometimes the threads with titles that don't interest me contain useful insights that I would never have noticed, and the posts' reputations have been a reasonably good indicator that such nuggets are there.
