For instance, once I got over 100 comments in my post asking about the Benko Gambit, I created a file based on the discussion and some deep analysis that others generously shared with me.

I believe this 'Forum' style of learning - social learning if you prefer - is the most effective for overall improvement, as you are not just learning from my daily chess material, but also from the great contributions by others in the group. We have many titled players, including several IMs, a correspondence IM and very recently a correspondence SIM also joined our community!
