Should posts in the parking lot count towards total post counts?

Sometimes... If they have a really low number, I might give them the benefit of the doubt that they're just getting their feet wet and aren't experienced in the message board culture. Sometimes I wish we'd be more constructive in our criticisms when addressing the noobs.

On the other hand, sometimes I think the more posts you have just means you're more jaded.

In all honestly, I look at the age of a poster first. I know, I know... that's stupid, but I just can't help it.
