everyone has something of value to bring to the table
ah, but there is a difference between market value and intrinsic value ;> joking aside, I do see your point.
and what do we mean by quality? for me, that means well researched and organized, not necessarily with perfect grammar and spelling (which also happen to be my own weak points).
the compliment to everyone has something of value to bring to the table is that everyone has different tastes that those bringing the value satisfy. What is boring to me is interesting to someone else, and vice versa.
so now I understand the value of of retaining those Steemers who aren't making a pain in the ass of themselves.
