Now you're starting to sound like "Charlie" - a person who judges ability/knowlege based on how many years he's been umpiring. "Internet Umpires" are no different. Just because you post a thousand times, doesn't mean you can work - like "Charlie", who has been umpiring 20 yrs, doesn't mean he has a clue either.

When I'm on the field, it doesn't take more than an inning or so before I can tell if a person has "skills". Likewise on the internet, it doesn't take more than a couple of posts before you can tell if they have a clue. Bottom line, don't judge ability/knowledge by a (number), rather form your conclusions based on content and observations. Just my opinion
