    Whilst I can appreciate the extent of a person’s contribution by the number of posts attributed to their name, what purpose does it serve to point out to others the “status” of a person in terms of their contribution? Or is the status status?

    The danger is that one might attach too much credibility to opinions because readers could infer that their status is a reflection of experience, when they could in fact be contributing total shash.

    It’s quality that counts, not quantity.

    Hi Badger,
    I guess I come under the “total shash” category, only because I have no idea what shash is, there goes my status!
    Cheers,

    Hi,
    Shash – The scarf of a turban?
    Hirsute – Hairy!?
    Now I am really confused!

    Sue,

    What I meant was be careful of what you admit to if you don’t know what it means i.e. shash could mean hirsute, therefore you could have unwittingly admitted to being hairy.
