What is a "Quality" post?

[miketwalker]

Personally, I think it is good when someone makes a post (especially if the thread is someone asking for help about something, or asking a question such as this one) by bringing a different view-point in... although not always helpful, it can sometimes allow the thread-starter to get kick-started into finding the solution if people just giving simple answers aren't enough. Whether it be in the form of reading material that could help, or by going far over-and-beyond what the question is to help the person not only find the answer they're looking for... but also understand why that is the answer and/or how it works.
