(thanks Max :) Well, excuse me for bringing up the bleeding obvious, Ron, but I do read the freaking manual. I just don't get to Max's site often enough. I usually just have time to read the helpful hints published on the I&A pages every few weeks and take what's there as verbatim. Here's the HH printed just a few short days ago. No reference to 'Carpal Tunnel' anywhere. How do you graduate from ?Stranger?? There are different titles given, based on the number of posts. Here are the titles: Stranger (0), Newbie (25), Journeyman (50), Member (100) Enthusiast (200), Addict (400), Old Hand (700), Veteran (1200), Pooh Bah (1600) At the time of writing, we don't know if there are any more. Search on ?Graduation? for threads that discuss this subject Signature Lines: The system allows you to add a signature. In the past, some of us have used our favourite quotes but we've found that this becomes distracting after seeing the same line several times so we prefer not to use them. However, I will start reading Max's website now that I know it is more consistent and up-to-date. Regards, Rubrick.

Sorry that my post sounded a bit harsh (on hindsight). I was attempting a play of words on your post and pseudo-pseudonym but it didn't come out right. A big problem with posting to AWAD is that, if you only have five minutes to post and three of those are required for reference or for checking-up correct etiquette, you are only left with two minutes to post a foreshortened post (as is the sad case now). So a lot of us (I don't speak for others but notice their posts) including me sound ridiculously stupid as we constantly ask the same questions over and over about where to find shorter links, how to type mark-up etc. The FAQs provided every few weeks are excellent tips for newcomers and great reminders for people such as me but I tend to take them as gospel and don't rely on other websites, such as Max's (which I really don't have the time to visit - or to remember to visit) which the more experienced members would check for more up-to-date and advanced information.

For those who don't know, times are posted in CST (Central Standard Time) tsuwm: or possibly it doesn't bother anyone else Angel, the reason is simply that all posts are marked in tsuwm time; it's one of our tsuwmocentricities.
