Hey, everybody (well, almost everybody) has got new names! How exciting! I guess all our complaining paid off.

60 old hand
100 veteran
200 local
300 devotee
500 aficionado
1000 connoisseur
5000 axiomite
10000 shareholder
Gentlemen, I have a new goal...

Yes Amie. Thanks for the new titles. I notice that we went from two addicts to none at all.
Did I hear that the first one to 10000 without meaningless posts being included gets one of those nice new subs?

No Amie. I'm still stuck at veteran. But at the rate things are going today, I shall soon be promoted.
I think I posted a couple of useful comments today. . .
Somewhere.

My thoughts exactly...well at least with regards to posts.....
As the longest serving active member, I am probably not in the top 250 posters!!!
Hey Amie, can you run a report on this?
.....I guess this qualifies as a useless post!!!

I'm *so* bad with data but it looks like you were the 104th registered member, BBIBH. You have the most posts in the first registered 104, but you are not the longest serving active member. Is that the report you were asking for, or the top 250 posters?

No, I actually meant the top 250 with the most posts. I am guess Peter or Ken would be near the top.
We as a group went down this path about "when did you register", and we could not come up with many names before me that still post. Can you determine who is before me and still posts regularly...and I think we realize Ian does.
You need to invest in a BI tool...not that website stats are overly important...especially for message boards!!! LOL

Wow. I just noticed that pmbuko is an axiomite. That is some serious posting.
So if you reach 10,000 does Axiom give you shares of the company?

Apparently so. Enough of us have made this comment that it can be foreseen that Ian will be having a discussion with Amie suggesting a change in one category.

In reply to:
"It is better to keep one's keyboard quiet and be thought a fool, than to use it and erase all doubt!"
LOL! Absolutely FABULOUS quote! Upon reading it I immediately assumed the "keyboard quiet" was substitued for "mouth closed," or the like, in the original quote.
Upon searching, it appears the quote is unattributable to any one person. Sounds like Twain, but could easily be Lincoln. All I can say to the original author is "THANK YOU."

You DO realize that this reorganization of titles is merely a mean, evil, dirty, sneaky way of making sure we all stick around, and continue to participate. I used to be in the top category (addict), but now I've been demoted to a mere connoisseur. That means I gotta hang in for another 7357 posts, or so, in order to regain my rightful place in the top category. That means YOU gotta endure another 7357 of my pearls of wisdom . So, to those of you who already sick and tired of me, BLAME AMIE!

Free bump to the first person to source this quote:
"At times I actually though I could hear Arnold’s thoughts emanate from the EP500: “Gene, this is NO girlie man sub. It is very pumped.” Who am I to argue with the Terminator?"
That's right - free lift to the next level of posting, even Peter!! {giggles}

That is from Gene Dellasala in the Audioholics review of the EP-500...
HE was listening to The DVD-A of Graham Nash's "Chelsea Hotel" when Arnold spoke to him ...

In reply to:
what if someone looks at that new title and thinks: "This guy may know what the heck he is talking about"?
All they need do is stumble upon one of my posts and any thoughts of title and knowledge being linked will quickly evaporate.

Right!! And only 492 to go and I can be one too.
The mind boggles realizing just how many frivolous posts that I will have to contribute each day to try to catch up!!
I'll bet my Son can write me a program that will write a post and submit it automatically every hour on every subject every day!!
Let's see...How can I word this?
I know...Dumb Idea-Don't Do It!!!Ok...I won't
