So length of "service", not number of contributions, is your benchmark? How does the post count detract from FT ant more than the "Date Registered"?</font>
As a clarification, if I see someone who has a Date Registered of '99 or blank, well then yes, I would throw more credibility to them, or should I say, I would be more apt to read the post. Then again, there are "newer" people, for example, in the US forum whose posts I try to read as well.
I think there is an inherent sense in some FTers that they need to boost their post count. This is the reason why I think it detracts from FT.
