there was some consternation back when it was revealed that 700 was the 6th level of AWADtalkitiveness (counting stranger as 0th and newbie as 1st), thereby breaking up the *obvious arithmetic progression.

well, as A-6th level-WADdy, I'd like to make a prediction. if my newly discovered progression holds true the next level will be, not at 1000, but 1100 posts. but, of course, I'm probably wrong.
