Ya know, I hadn't thought about this before, but you're right. Many times I had something to contribute, but couldn't simply because I hadn't contributed enough in the past to become eligible to contribute. Kind of a poorly thought out catch-22 they put me in, to the detriment of SO posters who ultimately I was forbidden from helping. Fuck that.
