How far would you go to become/be recognized as a good poster?

[EricW]

From the constant serious discussions of who is or isn't a good poster in OOT and in the more serious El Diablo discussion forum, it's clear to me that being a good poster is or should be the most important thing in a 2+2er's life. Unfortunately, not all of us are born with the god given talent of being a good poster. If a magical Diablo came up and offered you a chance to be a good poster, how big of a price would you pay? How much would you be willing to give up? What would you be willing to endure?
