Don't feel bad Panthere, I don't understand it either. And English is my first language... I don't know what it means to be a bat; I've never heard that expression before?
I seem to recall a user named pat le bat or something to that effect. For a moment I was thinking he was talking about that guy.
Post count is a good way flush out phonies like the notorious unemployed troll that hacks into accounts that have been dormant from 2006 and then starts infiltrating the board.
Also, newbies have a certain decorum. They come off a little shy. You can tell by the tone and the style that it is not really a newbie but one of our infamous and pathetic unemployed trolls.
Sometimes a newbie is just someone who is back with another account. I am on my third terb incarnation [requested deletion for the first, requested deletion which somehow became a voluntary permaban for the second] I figure another 7 or 8 incarnations and I'll get myself a Tardis. When I come back under a new ID I am all decked out in scarves, fezes, bowties and the Allons-Y.

Also someone who is a lurker might not come off shy.
Also some of us [oh! oh! me] just are not the shy type.
Also what is wrong with being a pathetic unemployed troll. As a pathetic unemployed ogre I must take offense at that on behalf of my regenerating bretheren. I think I will visit the human rights commison office in the swamp with donkey. He is always up for a walk.
