After your first 1,000 though, it's no big deal no longer, people poke and start making fun of you that you have eight arms and direct connections and stuff....

Anyways, welcome to the club though..

Also, I once almost became Guru (I'm really no Guru, but I certainly do know how to configure X which as got to be the most popular question being asked at least daily), but I think I turned moderator 10 or 8 posts before 1,000. But that was too long ago to remember all of that.

Exactley so why does it matter ? That is one reason why most have a choice now, Guru or LQ Addict. We just can't presume your a Guru now can we.. but someone can also post a 1,000 questions and be a Guru, but I would only hope they select to be a LQ Addict.
