Personally, I am a few thousand places behind, but still in the top 0.2%.
How? I asked and answered a few hundred questions early on, years ago, when SO was new and interesting...
Now those answers are old and, like most answers on SO, out of date. Usually when I google something technical and get seemingly the exact right question asked on SO, the answers are no longer correct. Software versions change.
And yet I still get a steady trickle of votes, forever increasing the gulf between outdated and no-longer-participating people like me and anyone starting on SO today.
