Yet in reality they are not--two examples: a) posters with large enough post counts are labeled "Evangelists," with obvious connotations as to their "knowledge;" and b) in general, many FTers naturally also tend to give more credibility to posters with more post counts than those with less, whether deserved or not. This happens both everyday and during special occasions such as the TB elections.

I think this is an important enough issue to be addressed by the TalkBoard.
