Anu, I added some facetious suggestions to Anna's question
about whether we could get promoted beyond being "strangers". Now, I see that jmh is a "newbie" (way to go, Jo!). What's the criteria, pretty please?

I just got "promoted" as well; I'd guess it is related to the number of posts one has made.

Be the first on your block to become a "geek"!

I wonder if 75 posts is a landmark.

(If nothing else it marks the arrival of a rather large phone bill).

Well 75 didn't get me anywhere - what about 100?

Well at least it's not gender specific, although perhaps it is, at least in one sense of member.
Why this should make me consider the following is a question best not asked but anyway to proceed.

If the flexible elctromagnetic data disc is called a floppy why is the rigid equivalent not called a stiffy?

well, since it is still diminutive, you wouldn't want to confuse it with the larger and more efficacious "hard drive".
