About reputation - don't rely on it blindly. Sometimes it's just an indicator of having been around CD for a while; sometimes it just means the user had a particularly popular Unofficial Caption Contest entry.

About disclaimers - no matter how many you make or in what method you make them, you're still a representative of your team, your school, your place of business, yourself. In a few isolated cases, this may be overlooked by the general CD public, but these are reserved only for the most revered individuals.
Thank you for these tips. I LOVE having a list of great contributors. You just saved me a lot of time. In my past life as a graduate student, I spent a lot of time mining the pre-print archives (like CD for physicists). It took me months and many false starts to develop a good sense of whose paper drafts I HAD to read to stay current with my work.

Also thanks to all the contributors of this thread. I may assign all my students to study this thread because almost all of us are new to CD. I am definitely going to become a subscribed user once I set up a Paypal account. Thanks for that tip Rsisk. Worth every penny!
