Don't you find that giving advice is helpful to you? Don't you have to review what you know, and carefully craft an accurate response? If so, the forums are helpful even now. If not, you may not have learned as much as you thought. Sure some of the stuff is ABC, but I have always found teaching to be as educational as being a student.

That's a good point. Malmuth said that writing has helped him in poker. I'm sure much of what has written is "elementary" to him as well.

Also, unless he has mastered and is done moving up in stakes, he probably has more to learn from the forums (e.g. high stakes limit hold 'em, etc.).

But he's probably right with the diminishing returns and the lower grade posts. I've only been around here for a year, but I'm sure it's become more of a zoo in lots of the forums.
