Newbies have a tendency to come in waves. Sometimes you get a wave of cool newbies. Other times you get take it or leave it newbies, and sometimes you get hat newbies.
I have not seen these hat newbies you speak of, but I do not doubt they are out there. At least they aren't sock newbies. May the force be with you, Pry. They are on a thread nibbling at me like little piranhas. They are rather annoying, most of all because they think they're cute. Don't they though? They make me so grateful to no longer be a newbie. Sheesh. On edit: SHEESH. |

*waving tiny zombie flags* Correct, as usual, TZ. That's because you are not Dude. TZ, however, is Dude. TZ is my favorite. |

Oh. It' that thread. I'll admit I've not really been following it, but you have my sympathies. And while we're at it, I still smell a sock. |

The poster in question is far too boring and dull-witted to be you, BTR. |

Yes, it's true, the more you post, the more respect you get. The better your posts are, the more respect you get. Some of the most respected forumites are not yet DSMs but each of their posts are worth the wait. Just like academia (now that's a surprise): the more you publish, the better respected you are. Alternatively, if you've published a small number of really good articles, you'll also be respected.
You don't like the system? This forum, and indeed academia, may not be for you.
Oh, if you only post crap - no number of posts will garner you respect.

Looking at that thread makes me feel like there are a lot of bare feet around.

Seriously - you are. And you are not nearly as smart or entertaining as you seem to think.
Nor do you deserve special treatment.

Alas, Mouseman, my contributions are more than just a high post count. Not only did I start 2 very popular threads (do they still have the highest post count?), but I set a precedent for long threads. Also, I was behind the On the Money forum. The Katrina forum was also my brainchild, though its usefulness has served its purpose. So maybe *I'm* not that special, but my contributions to the fora are. |

NOW you've done it. Hurricane season isn't over until November, technically. You have tempted the weather god. |

Ah, Pry, you are more than just another poster with a high post count. You are The Foracle. Using the Academia metaphor, you hold an Endowed Chair. Besides which, people disrespect you at their own peril... |

I cringe at that very sincere, very naive remark, although the poster seems to recognize that the situations are not exactly comparable. It was meant well, and I might have had the same reaction at that age. That said, grief is grief. Good luck in life, little one, and bon courage with what life throws at you down the road.
