That said, I don't think verbally thwacking newbies will improve their intelligence or impede them from posting. My criteria? Didn't work for Katie.

Quality of posts is probably a very important criteria in determining intellect but I am not sure people coming from a certain group should be generalized as such. I'll admit I play FFXI but I hardly migrated to this forum. I began posting in all forums simultaniously about 7 months ago. Do I consider myself intelligent, yes. Six years of undergrad double major and one year of grad school down I think I could make that assumption about myself. Truth be told, I think a lot of stuff that is posted here is crap, yes, but the retorts to most of this crap is even more crap. So basically its just one big pile of sh*t. Point is take what people post for what it is. If they are consistently moronic (or moranic as some ppl around here like to say) then maybe they are some 15 year old that whacks off to little kitty cats running around a computer screen. We all know each others board personalities I think we should stray from generalizations and just start calling people out. It'd be so much more fun.
