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

Sal ... didn't I say exactly that myself?
But for someone with 6 posts to ASSUME that someone with 4000 posts needs to be talked down to? Please.
