Oh, Jo!

How can I congratulate you on becoming an addict??
If juanmaria comes to the ball, he can dust off his
debutante gown.
I'm going to borrow a leaf from Anu and bring addictionary.

> Anyone care to add their two cents/pence/centimes/pesetas etc. etc. and suggest appropriate milestone titles for the initiated?

As much time as it takes, I suggest the next level should be "retired!"

>And now I’m going to email my friend Fidel

I have it on good authority that Peter Nero went to Cuba some years back to do a tour around the country, but refused to see Castro who became quite irate. The headline in Variety read "Fidel Burns while Nero Roams"

Oh, Ted! Did you make that up?? That is great!

That's almost as good as Rubrick's Mobile phones.

P.S.--Can't think of an alternative just now, but I hope the next title isn't "retired". That would sound like
we're ready to be put out to pasture (said the woman from
horse country), and I can say for certain sure that not a
single person on this Board is ready for that!
So, to that one!

which would give us tries, rites, tiers, and ultimately siter.

Oh, Bingley, you're funny!

I for one can't imagine much that could be stronger
than "addict", unless after that we are going to become
"slaves". And if we rotate that we get salves.
