a. Traffic is sometimes overwhelming, but I think it's unavoidable given the number of players at micro stakes.
b. Varies from great to ridiculous. I've found reading SSNL/MSNL and looking for good replies is helpful when trying to understand how to formulate posts.
c. Good given the amount of traffic, irrelevant posts are quickly handled.
d. It's hard to do, but encouraging searching/reading. There sooo much good stuff in the stickies/forums/archives that goes beyond the advice that's possible to give immediately.
