hi lugan,
do you think posters here post to win credibility or gain readers?
amongst wave investors, that is a very easy thing. all you have to do is write feel good posts. it doesn't matter if your posts make the least bit of sense. you are instantly credible and find readers so long as you say wave has a huge opportunity and is on the verge of success. the huger and sooner the better.
or let's say you don't have opinions but you find articles by folks who seem to have some connection with tc. then you are a fabulous and due diligent researcher.
and if you then combine all similar articles and appear to suggest a sense of direction towards wave, then you are a visionary regardless of results. indeed, the more wrong you are, the more visionary you become. your vision is defined by being decades ahead rather than presently miles off.
so it's simpler than you make it.
on the other hand, there are those who think the goal you describe is a little empty. that defining your own truth matters more than popularity. that winning over folks who have varying levels of expertise but want to hope is not necessarily a decent thing if in providing hope you are misleading them. that measuring value by actually turning out to be right occasionally is something of greater worth than the approval of a community. that establishing processes of enquiry that sometimes yield truths has more to be said for it than submission to a technical dot-connection model of arguable utility.
as regards ss's weight, i measure it in gravitas. or its lack.
