I think there is a slight inaccuracy in the referenced link... It says that beggars have
zero or negative credits and that newbie status starts at one credit. I think, in fact, that a member must actually go
strictly negative to achieve beggar status. Members with zero credits are newbies. One cannot be born a beggar; one must acquire such status...
In any case, the members' database currently contains 28,733 members (not all active, certainly!). Of these, only a select group of 67 have acquired beggar status. As DArtagnan says, there are some exceptionally talented people out there!
Have fun, CGP
