So what if Knighthawk's only listed as a member since October 2001?

It's the QUALITY of the posts, not the length of time a particular screen name has been in use that counts.

Don't fret the "Member Since" police. They don't know what else to say so just do the old "Member Since" thing. They thought it was pretty neato the first time they saw someone else do it, so they tried it themselves and it made them feel very special. Silly, I know, but if it raises the self esteem of the "Member Since" posters, let them continue to feel important, and special, and superior. With all that "Membership Since" under their own belts, why shouldn't they think that this qualifies them for brilliant contributor to FR of the year?
