The words of a "newbie" should carry as much weight as those of a "sr. member."
I just think that even if someone does not post very often, it doesn't mean that their ideas are worth any less than a person who contributes a lot.
Absolutely.
The terms don’t even really indicate how long someone has interacted with this forum. Someone could read a lot and post very rarely–or even never–on the boards and know more than the person with the biggest number under their avatar. Likewise, someone could drop by for the first time and throw down a hundred replies. It all really means nothing.
But at the same time, I enjoy milestones (watches the number under his name tick closer to 500).
