<p>Be sure I really appreciate your multiple contributions on this site, that are valuable on many fronts, and many other users probably do so. Now, here are some of my thoughts.</p>

<p>I am a little reserved about the usefulness of displaying such links, although I can understand that this might provide some clues about the field of interest or area of expertise for a particular user. Yet, we have access to tags ranking and recent activity so it's not really difficult to get an idea of where an user really excels.<sup>*</sup> I, for one, follow several users on CV just because I know I will learn something sooner or later from their responses. Over time I've learned what questions these users are likely to respond, and so I can track questions, instead of users. For specific questions, I know who (of active users) might provide a relevant answer. It comes with time, of course. However, it is still a subjective approach; nobody's perfect (even somebody trained in psychometric methods)! But I don't need a complete curriculum in his/her profile, nor I need a self-ranked list of answers provided in the last 2 months (will this be updated in 1 year?); let me decide how I value his/her contributions.</p>

<p>So, to answer the question "if it would be valuable for contributors to be able to mark somehow a subset of their answers on their profile page as the ones where they think they addressed an issue particularly well", I would be inclined to say: Yes, please contribute to our <a href="http://stats.blogoverflow.com/" rel="nofollow">blog</a> with dedicated posts on topics you like, statistical methods you feel comfortable with or potential applications you are aware off. You could reference any posts you like in it, including yours, and this will certainly enhance the hearing of this site.</p>

<p><sub><sup>*</sup>I do not speak of reputation because this is a tautology to say that it has almost nothing to do with time and investment devoted to replies, but that's community life! (Let me be clear: I'm not criticizing the voting system---subjective appraisal, personal interest, reputation effects, limited knowledge, expectations or reasons associated to CV visits are some of the factors that could potentially entail a biased assessment of one's response.)</sub></p>
