just because a person makes a lot of post's doesn't make them smart. take me for an example i have over 550 posts, but that doesn't mean that i know any more than the new member. also i have read member posts that were very well thought out, insightful and articulate and they didn't even have 20 posts yet. this is also why i don't play the age card.

.....old timers that stay up to date on guns are the best to ask a question. but an old timer that shoots say a 97 winchester and hasn't been up to date on firearms in the past 40+ years is the wrong person to ask about a back bored browning gold. this also works in reverse a young buck might only know that he has a shotgun that shoots 12ga shells, another might know everything there is to know about the guns that they own, making them a specialist in that feild.
