i hate to rain on you's guy's parade.... but the stats are warped. they are not an accurate reflection of who has been around how long or how much time on has invested here. they only reflect that since they started working, which hasnt been all that long.
as far as numbers of posts, some guys wear that as a badge of honor; which is fine by me. but i see so many making posts so short so frequently that it is obvious that they are just trying to get their post count up. redhawk1 was famous for this. it seems silly to me.
some people i see online so much i wonder if they ever spend any time outdoors at all. i know age can be a factor, and weather, and this is a great place for those folks to share what they have learned and still stay active in their beloved pastimes: and this is a great outlet for that. others are simply self proclaimed internet gurus.
on the subject of lots of posts.... i look more at how helpful a person has been with their posts, how they act toward others, and their general tone as a way to shape what i think of them. their number of posts rarely holds influence over me, unless they are VERY new to the site and being unruley. it also raises concerns if a business deal may be in the works; but i have done them anyway if their other posts pass muster.
in the end, i wouldnt put alot of stock in it.
