When I first came on this board yesterday all the big boys said hello. Then I got some Hecklers so I'm just tring to figure out this board.
Who are the guys with something legit?
Who are the hecklers?
and who are the Newbies?

You raise a point that I've actually argued here before, with limited success I might add. That point was/is that people seem to be judged and rated based on the number of posts they have here and the amount of time they've been a member, which to my way of thinking is, well.... stupid. Roger, you are a prime PRIME example of why that practise is stupid. You have what, 22 posts or so, and a bunch of people automatically assume you are a know-nothing newbie. At the same time, a few so-called "big timers" recognize you and jump to your defense. But what if no one knew you? Is it possible for someone to run successful sites, make a pile of bling, and yet be pretty much unknown?
Yet those same big timers (Rat, Kboy et al) have <i>themselves</i> in the past called people newbies for having only a few posts here. Double standard, yes. Pretty ridiculous, very much so. Hilariously ironic? Oh man, my sides are aching.
Bottom line to all is: don't judge people by the # of posts they have. Someone may be new to this board, but it doesn't mean they are a newbie to the industry. If lucky Larry Flynt registered today and posted his first post, you guy's 'd call him a newbie? Stop it, you're killing me.
Roger -- if you want to part with some traffic, I'll gladly part with some of mine.
