You know, I almost feel obliged to wade into this one myself, but I have to say that I don't really care either way - I've been loitering around here for almost two years, and in that time I've made less than fifty posts (and five or so of those have been within the last couple of weeks, for no adequately explored reason). There was a mild feeling of gratification when I moved on from Newbie a month or two back, but I have to agree with the sentiments that it doesn't take long hanging around here to figure out a) who the big posters are, and b) who knows what they're talking about.

I don't know why I even bothered saying all this, given my post won't even count for anything...
