Well, it's not that simple. Andrei was a celebrity from day one, 
although (I think) he got write access only later. Same thing with Don. 
Matthew Wilson never had write access, and he enjoyed celebrity status.

For all I know, there may be several people with write access who don't 
even appear on this newsgroup. (I have no idea, but I suspect.)

And then, of course, everybody's list of celebrities is different.
