90 days minimum. Just kidding.
Seriously, it is best to hang around and participate on other threads till you get a feel for the place. A Vanity Posted by new posters is always gonna draw fire. Stay and answer questions or comments made to you. I've been here just over 2 years and have only made 13 posts. But I have made 48K plus replies or comments.
Hang tough and get to know us.
You've made 48,000 + posts here? Wow! You don't have a job, do you? ;-)
CG, I hate sound stuned, (Even though I do it so well), but how do you know how many replies/comments you've made? I haven't seen a counter.
