I beg to take a different stance on this, and that is to the fact that there's a difference between reading and studying, reading wouldn't get you much as studying would, well in the case of the man that won the price, may be just reading did but there's also some sort of studying in that of which if he hadn't done that I think he wouldn't have understood to the point of knowing he's supposed to make an email to be considered the winner.

As for this forum, to get the best of this forum, all you have got to do is to making sure you are not just reading but studying because anything short of that could make you remain stagnant such that you will not be growing enough to make reasonable contributions but for one who has studied, he will still be able to make good contributions off the things he had studied and . make reasonable contributions but just reading wouldn't get you there.
