My favorite sports analogy might apply here. This was told to me by Mailing Overseer Dan Marshall when I was at the Farm. You can imagine why he would tell this to me (letting me know I was not to be used in any position of authority if I remember correctly.) Anyhow I use it with my kids all the time. Here it is:
Pete Rose had more hits, but Ty Cobb had a higher batting average. Then my students go running to Wikipedia to find out who Ty Cobb was.
Of course, in this case it seems that Blondie has more hits AND a higher average, if more hits equals quantity and average equals quality.
I think it would be cool to have an awards ceremony and give away the following awards:
Most posts -
Most threads started -
Deepest/highest quality posts - must qualify what deepest is, or divide it up into a number of sub-category awards: most profound (another word for deep I know), most eclectic, most metaphysical or super scientific, most suprising, most intellectual...
Best factual poster / best factual post - This could go to an individual who has posted many factual posts, or it could award the best single factual post. By factual, I mean, a post that not only is very well referenced, but not seriously debated by anyone. Not, the sky is blue, but something substantial and so well documented that nearly everyone agrees with it. Neither side of the God debate or the 9/11 debate should get this award in my opinion.
Best scientific poster/post -
Best religious/Bible/poster / post -
Most controversial post/poster -
Most original post/poster -
Most unpopular post/poster -
Best loved poster/post -
Best activism/anti JW project -
Best book by JWDer -
Best book idea by JWDer (fiction) -
Best book idea by JWDer (non- fiction) -
Best moderator -
Best JW forum inventor - (Simon I think would get this one.)
... you get the picture.
I would happily contribute monetarily to have an awards banquet at some hotel or retaurant. It would be cool.

Quality over quantity.
Blondie not only has quantity, but her WT comments threads have quality.
There are plenty of others with quality, also. Rock on posters. Rock on.
