Member status is a poor indicator of credibility and/or character, especialy if the status is based on number of posts. Some of the Anandtech members get to where they are by blindly agreeing with the topic ("Yep, sounds good to me"), throw posts into every 'For Sale' thread ("'bump!'"), or throw in their baseless opinions ("SBLive is suck!" eom). You'll have a better idea of a member's credibility by searching for the threads he/she's contributed to.
The Intelligent Web. Speeds up information interchange, improves the quality of life, and washes my car. Costs are prohibitive to development and deployment, but I've got the patent!
