In my opinion, a person is a person, regardless of their post count, or experience on a forum. Their general personality will never change, which is why first impressions are so important on message boards, and is also why it's important to be nice to the noobies. You tend to make more friends than foes that way. I don't look at people with high post counts as being wise or knowledgeable, because they're really just a person, same as everyone else.
