That's right. Flyertalk newbies (trusting as they are) associate post count and
joined date with accuracy. YMMV.
Would anyone here be upset if all post-count related titles (Evangelist et al.) disappeared?
Well, you can get rid of the titles. I don't mind.

<180 FT Lurker
180-10,000 FT Poster
10,000-20,000 FT Fanatic
20,000-30,000 FT Over poster
30,000-50,000 FTer with a serious posting issue
50,000 + FTer with no life
Can't argue with a Washington insider. @:-)
Sorry if I left one or 2 of you out when I was quoting.
