I am glad you clarified the exclusion of 'meaningless posts'. I probably contributed a few of those without fully understanding your terms of reference.

Of course some short posts are not meaningless. I regularly reply with just a single line to encourage new contributors or a photo post thread. I think it's part of being a welcoming community that attention is paid to someone, even if there is not always a lot to say.

I've been trying to figure out if I'm doing enough in my posts though. They all have meaning, at least to me, but some of them may be less than two lines long. I hope that doesn't disqualify me.

I don't think this is the greatest idea, imho.

Rather than a competition this should have been a sort of lottery where each "meaningful" post counts as an entry. That way the drive to "post the most" might be mitigated somewhat.

But congratulations anyway on your millionth-post.
