I was wondering what this "Expert" label meant, especially since some of the recipients were somewhat questionable to me. After reading this thread, I've come to the conclusion that it's meaningless and I should just go back to judging posters by the quality of their posts and not by any labels attached to their names.
If there has to be and "Experts" here, it would be someone like pup55, DantesPeak, Montequest or the like, people who actually contribute substantive news and information.
But there doesn't have to be such a designation. We all know who they are, and they don't need a "title". I would submit to Aaron that this designation has already been diluted so much that it's not worth the trouble and to revert back the the labels based on number of posts.
Unless, of course, this was an experiment to see who would get pissy about not being labeled "Expert", in which case, please carry on!
By the way, Aaron's nothing more than a damn troll with Admin power, or didn't you all get that?
