Here's something I've been wondering about but feel too stupid to ask:

In the "info" fields for FlyerTalk participants, there is a "status" field. I assume that your Flyertalk status is based on the number of posts you;ve made. Does anyone know what the thresholds are or what they mean? I notice that Rudi, with nearly 1,000 posts is still a "member". Will he become a FlyerTalk Gold-Platnum-Premier-1K member when his posts reach 1,000? Will he earn triple kudos points? Will he get special "first posting" priority. Will his posts appear 72 hours before he writes them? And will he get special access to the Gold-Platnum-Premier-1K chat room???

(sorry, folks, it must be friday. Perhaps I'll POETS )
