I pointed out earlier that as soon as you introduce some metric (or folks become aware of it), people will game it. Thank you for proving me right.  :-DD  :-DD

A puzzle question, for anyone who wants to participate.

Which user, has (currently) thanked the most users ?

Clue: If you think hard about it, you can probably guess who that user is.

I don't necessarily know the correct answer, but the highest I know about, currently, is at 181 pages of thanks given to others.

I think of EEVBlog as a peer group.  That doesn't mean we are all the same or have the same level of expertise, but rather that the overall tone is more dialectic than help desk.  Gettiing a 'correct' answer to a specific question misses the point, although if an answer is truly needed, often one is provided.  The fact that answers may differ is not a bug, it's a feature.

Medal? No, I want to exchange my shiny internet points for shiny bitcoins or something :-DD

And I do agree, there is seldom only one correct answer. The problem with experts is that they can be stuck in their way of thinking, and anyone thinking differently is in their opinion wrong.
An example for me would be in school as a kid, a teacher wants problem X solved, and I solved the problem. But it is wrong, that's not the way I taught you to solve it! But my answer is correct, and I did it this way? ...
Teaching that there is only one correct answer is obviously wrong, but the great thing about a forum is that anyone can voice their opinion equally and discuss X, Y and Z. But an expert might have a strong opinion on X as the answer and will use their 'power' to their advantage. A discussion free from labels is more beneficial in my opinion.
