Given that it's an arbitrary number and both 750 & 1000 posts are fairly easy to achieve.
I doubt it. It also depends a lot on the circumstances of one's life outside slinging.org.
I just don't see what the furore is about Take another look. Look closely.
1000 posts just has a better ring to it. Now who else agrees to that? Who?
It also means that the member has probably been around for a year or 2 and has a bit more experience.
Around in terms of posting. It says nothing about his/her slinging abilities in theory and practice. Some may have very few posts and easily outsling all others.
If you want some really exclusive posting Olympus, then why not introduce one more category like "super-god" or "Member of the Order of the Golden Pouch", beginning with 5000, where the chosen few mega-posters can gaze down on the dumb crowd?
This forum, like most communities of humans, lives from the contribution of everyone interested, not only from some kind of artificially created nobility.
