Truthfully, it's not a good way to really tell who knows his stuff, just who's on the forum a lot. Invariably, anyone who spends a lot of time on a site will have a lot of rep (which is why nogoodname has more than anyone-- he never sleeps).
There are plenty of people who read far more than they post, but are suspension gurus or turbo experts, etc. That guy won't have many rep points, but shouldn't be discounted.
Take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt. Generally speaking, the ones who SOUND like they know what they're talking about do.
