| Post count is only a representation of participation in this forum and little else. There are people on here who have over one hundred posts who don't even own a heli (yet), but they are participating, asking questions and learning about the hobby. There are people here who have lot of posts who aren't great pilots, or aren't that great at setup or tuning, or don't have helicopter theory down pat, but that doesn't mean they aren't able to contribute what they do know. I have close to 900 posts and I'm just getting into 3D, and I'm not very good at it yet. But I read and absorb info like a sponge and I enjoy passing on what I know to those who don't. Some people are just here for the virtual comradery.
There are those here who spout off a bunch of useless crap, but it usually doesn't take long before 10 others correct them if their info is wrong. There are also those of us who've been around here for a while who have grown impatient with the same old questions that have been hashed out time and again ad nauseum, who might suggest that the search function be used in the interest of saving bandwidth.
The best thing you can do is relax, turn up the BS detector, and enjoy the immensely valuable resource that RunRyder is. In time you'll learn to spot the people who are full of it, and who aren't. Before you judge people's competency on post count, consider that Curtis Youngblood (HeliVIG) only put up TWO posts before the disbelievers scared him off.
