Do good threads only get good responses or good responses make a thread good?
We are reading posts and discussion threads in the ISC forum and some members may be visiting other blogs and forums.I have seen some seemingly innocuous or irrelevant threads getting some very good responses which then leads to some healthy discussions. I have also seen some good threads not getting expected responses and sometimes the thread is hacked off to some other paths.
So my question is whether threads become good by good responses or good threads elicit good responses.
Members may be having first-hand experiences as authors of threads and as responders too. Please come out with your valid views in this regard.
