I see how a reg date might imply some kind of tenure on this board, but the reality is there are lots of names registered from long ago that in the past 3 years haven't made many (if any) posts. Now, in all of this...bruhaha, it's been implied several times that an old reg date + low low number of posts = low signal to noise ratio/higher intellegence/more meaningful posts/insert your own glorifying conclusion here.

Is that REALLY so? Can that be said without actually looking at all of the posts of such a user? Just because SomeNickname is 4 years old and has 10 posts registered to it doesn't make that person anymore intellectual, any more intellegent, any more a "Giant" than OtherNickname, 1 month old with 40 posts.

HB puts me in mind of a older gent sitting on his porch, grumbling about how things were better in the day, when kids respected their elders, dadgumit, and there weren't so many people around here making noise and there used to be a big beautiful field over there, all built up now, and why can't kids wear their pants where pants go, goin' around with their draws showing, yep things were MUCH Better back in MY day.*spit* *gum gum* Yep.
