500 seems like an awful lot. You yourself have only 254! I'm afraid a rule like that would only encourage lots of nonsense posts and topic starters in other sections of the forum to beef up post numbers. And besides, many smart people steeped in Tolkien lore don't have enough time to spare in their "real lives" to make as many posts as say, a lazy lump like me. I don't even know how many posts I have, anymore, since I stopped noticing my tally when it became just a flashing reminder that I have way too much time on my hands. But I've noticed that some other people who have been around far longer and make far better posts aren't even Ghost Princes yet.

Ah heh...summary, 'nother apple fer ye, Bill. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
