Interesting point. I've started going through this "Welcome thread" from Page 1 and am on about Page 5. I've already been struck by the number of people with less than 100 posts (from the year 2007/08) and the few number of posts from "old timers" with 1000s of posts. Just an observation. Probably means nothing. And I've joined in 2009 and lurked for 1 year. Then went dormant for 2 years. I guess the moral of the story is you gotta play to win.
