I don't think this person is an AE. If is a new person I don't know, I will personally call them a dum-dum for you guys tomorrow.
There isn't a quota that we have to meet for our job and most people are pretty happy to not interact on our forums. There are probably only 2 AEs in the department currently that enjoy posting on the forums. You can tell that the person is an AE because there profile name will usually be a pun/joke of their real name and we generally try to have our first name in the signature so we don't have to spam a bunch of people to figure out who posted to what. I know Jacobson isn't a joke/pun but I couldn't think of anything for Matt Jacobson (suggestions welcome).
But seriously, 15 years?! I can only imagine as Thomas sits in front of his computer, confused as his indicator keeps flickering. Some people say that he is still waiting to this very day.
