We are coming to a new year. It seems it would be good to ask our existing HDF readers where we can improve. Many of us post frequently; understanding what is valued and what is not is reasonable to consider.

That is,

• In terms of topics offered i.e. subject matter, what more would an HDF reader be interested in ?
• What posts are valuable and what is not ?
• How to improve overall, etc. with individual posts? approach?

We asked this question in 2007; a condensed results list is shown below , along with the original HDF post addresses that queried for input.

From March 2007, these points were considered important:

• Reading (something) does not insure comprehension. Explain your POV.

• Cut 'n paste is high on the list of 'unattractive' posts. There is little value to a cut 'n paste from another site that does not add definition, conclusions and points of reason one is to be considering.
• Quality is king - Many see HDF other then a message board. Some great ideas and insights are available to you. So you may consider how one adds value to the conversation, a POV, etc.
• Please Define your terms - if Sanskrit is offered, or Latin, or other language, provide the English rendition, and maybe root words of its origin, this is for learning purposes.
• Respect, humble, & openness to others and their ideas... a 'no spanking policy'. Recognize good work. We will do this via compliments, and applause. The intent:- catch people doing something right and acknowledge their good work. Make corrections to thinking, but not at the expense of ones good nature or mental health.

The posts below outline the initial thinking if there is interest to see the audit trail.
