In the heirarchy of the AH BBS, the difference between the three levels of "member" status is very important. I find that those people with the most posts are obviously the most intelligent and well spoken people capable of clearly conveying information, criticisms, and debating. They are often the best typers ever, making next to zero mistakes while typing.
Most importantly. they are also experts in just about everything, including, but not limited to the following: World War 2; World War 2 aircraft performance; the difference between Germans and Nazis; the moral, social, environmental, and political ramifications of the atom bomb employment to end the war with Japan; the benefits of the carpeted garage; the number of clearcoats on various cars; European politics; American politics; poper tactics for use by modern military forces in executing a war plan; why airliners crash; the true impact on American culture by Michael Moore and his films; how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop; why certain articles on the internet are clearly biased in favor of one viewpoint than another; how to pick up sarcasm in the typed word; how to troll; how not to bite on a troll; the value of the In-N-Out Double-Double; why Arnold Schwarzenegger is a good and/or bad governor of California; the difference between Belgium and France; why the British cops don't carry guns; why terrorists kill innocents; why governments kill innnocents; what goatse.cx really contains; the difference between a mute point and a moot point; how to cut and paste articles from news sites while working at Boeing; Creamo; the difference between a cherry pick and proper BnZ tactics; honor in the game and why chute killing is wrong; the fact that it is a game and chute killing is as dishonorable as killing a fly; why salad is not a food, but what food eats; why the P-38 is porked; why the P-38 isn't porked; what a luftwhiner is; how HTC operates; the "Allied Conspiracy" and how the Axis planes are neutered buut the Allied planes aren't; the fact that if the words "dirty bomb" are put into a post, the NSA and FBI start to circle your house with satelites and black helicopters while using the backdoor entrance to your computer; why it is always good to check Snopes if you read a great story in an email; how to beat a joke to death (see any thread containg the word "IN"); MrBlack's new identity; hopw to setup someone else's computer based on a single sentance posted to a message board; how to look at a whine about connection and know right away that it couldn't possibly be HTC's server that burped but a router somewhere in Chicago that is choking on the klez worm; the IQ level of a poster varies inversely as the number of smiley's in their post; how HTC's flight model for Aces High works and how it needs to be corrected; the armor penetration of the .50cal bullet when fired from a plane going 400mph in a 30 degree dive if it strikes 24.6 inch steel plate at an angle of 43.8 degrees; that all the bugs in AH2 are being quashed as you read this; what SPAM is really made of; why Snickers, packed with peanuts, really satisfies; why teachers aren't doing their jobs correctly concerning raising someone else's children; how the economy works; why Boroda still believes the Soviet system will prevail; what ROTFLMMFAOWPBFRKDTLMMFAOAROF really stands for; how Tommy McGuire died; the entire NACA charts for every plane ever made.
