A versus B

It's felt like there have been a lot of articles based on answering reader questions lately. And, when I checked the totals, I noticed that the next Answers column would be the 100th. Since I started running answers to questions a little less than a year ago, then assuming around 240 posts per year, that means that a bit less than half of all articles over the course of a year have been about answering questions. I started running answers to questions based on reader feedback so it would be interesting to know whether people still like the idea. Would you rather:

- Have more answers to questions and fewer original articles?

Have more original articles and fewer answers to questions?  

• Have equal amounts of both?

  I vote for the third option, equal amounts of answers and original articles.

  I think I'd prefer more original articles, depending on the quality of the questions, of course.

  I am also with 3#. I think Q&A should be there as they are common real world scenarios. And original articles helps to understand stuff, even before working on it.

  I think a balance is best, but you should base it on the quality and overall usefulness to the community of the questions you're receiving. Either way I'll be visiting the site 5 days a week!
