How long before a newbie isn't a newbie? Just curious, how many posts does someone have to have before you no longer consider them a newbie? If someone says something you don't agree with, you look at their post count and say, "Oh, no wonder. They only have ______ posts. They're just a noob." What number goes there? Or does it have more to do with how long someone's been a member? Is someone with only 50 posts still a newbie if they've been on the forum for several years?

People who come on here and are very smart about our cars and know them inside and out can come on and with 1 post they are not considered a noob. On the other hand some people come on here and ask really dumb questions and have over 100 posts but dumb questions are ok since everyone has asked a dumb question at 1 time or another. Post count does not mean much
