2 posts by Silman in reponse to questions in the comments section of his paid column generally supercede in value the entire body of content most members contribute to this site.
Comments are just words, anyone can make them. Very few make comments of real value. The test of best is value.
Also, posting in a forum only makes one more visible to forum users and little else. So judging a member solely by forum posts, or lack thereof, is probably the worst possible criterion for "best."
opinions are like arses, everybody has one
But only mine doesn't stink.
MSC!
Thumbs up!
:D

"Arses"? Who are you, little lord fauntleroy?
Where am I on this list? I've been told I'm pretty much the best. ;-)

I nominate NM reb, Martin_Stahl and batgirl.
Value is a matter of opinion. Many people here are fun without engaging in chess discussion. Silman, Rensch, Pogonia, pdela, and most of the other top vote getters wouldn't be in the running according to the original criteria. Only a hand full would, including batgirl. Basically this has become "who are your favorite posters" and that's fine. It's all just for fun anyhow

Whip_Kitten then.
And... I would like to point out.. I am not on your list either!
Probably because I don't know your writings well. The over forty members on my list is due to me being able to acquaint their writings with their username. Unless I've spoken to you directly it is harder to do for me:)
but the facts are the facts. I don't know of any post of Silman out of his paid column. therefore
