Surely it is good to have a system that helps you (personally) to get what information that you feel that you need from the forum or from this thread, and if you have 20 pages of wall observer to catch up on, then some posts are going to more likely NOT be read, or they might be just skimmed to see if they are talking about any key relevant topics or maybe just looking at memes is easiest on certain days.  

The reality could be that a long post about BTC price analysis might be more important, relevant and helpful than a cute post about hats, but it remains understandable that sometimes ONLY the cute posts will be read by some members at some times because there are only so many hours in a day.  Perhaps on some days, some members only have 20 minutes, if that, that they can dedicate to looking through the WO thread, or some other forum thread that they might consider to be reasonably helpful to them.

No one writing long or lots of posts would presume that his/her post are being read completely by anyone or even that anyone has read some of those posts, but that still would not warrant that the posts are not worthy of being made and posted, even if some readers find them less valuable than others or that the only person finding the post(s) valuable is the one who is writing the post(s), which also could be sufficient enough reason to justify putting the post together and hitting "send."  Those kind of personal choices remain part of the power of personal discretion.
