“To the very best of my abilities” seems excessive to me, or at least I seem to do reasonably well with “according to the amount of work I’m willing to put in, and based on pretty good habits”.
I’m not even sure what I could do to improve my posting much. I could be more careful to not post when I’m tired or angry, and that probably makes sense to institute as a habit. On the other hand, that’s getting rid of some of the dubious posting, which is not the same thing as improving the average or the best posts.
Even when I’d only been here a few weeks, your posting had already caught my eye as unusually mindful & civil, and nothing since has changed my impression that you’re far better than most of us at conversing in good faith and with equanimity.
