Well, it's definitely volume. If it actually had something to do with quality, I might have...MAYBE...a total of 2 posts. |

Well, with that compliment, I guess I'll retract my previous jab at you.

Ha ha, I'm still a freshman!  Very fitting, because being on the 7 year plan in college, I was a freshman there for four years too!

Be real careful, right around 2600 posts they make you a 'male model'. Oh the humanity.

I'm pretty sure there's some Simony going on; if there isn't, then maybe there should be. It could fund the P.B. and inflate small egos simultaneously. It needs to be doled out in gradations; like, perhaps 25-50 dollars to purchase a "sophomore" label (and the corresponding post count, though phantasmal), 75-125 for a junior label, etc. A postgraduate or "doctor" or whichever ranks are up there could go for 200 cold clams, easy, if someone was desperate enough.
Some might complain that's a bit pricey. Well... the P.B. is picking up more and more traffic nowadays, so I'm thinking of contacting Coke or Taco Bell or something and getting some kind of small advertising banner to place in my signature. Maybe I could get a certain settled compensation for every chunk of bandwidth I take up.
I don't know. Really this whole field is wide open, and deserves further exploration.
