True enough, if you've been around for a while you know who knows what, about what, as it were, and post count is completely irrelevant. However, from a new member's point-of-view, it might be a bit misleading in some cases to see "Flyertalk Evangelist" under a member's name, not knowing that that is automatic at 10,000 posts, and think that that designation actually meant that the member in question must be one of the more knowledgeable members here, rather than just a persistent Omni poster.
