But don`t you just feeeel the whisper of the veteran tag..."post more, post more, you are so close."

So close?! It seems to be taking me forever to get anywhere near veteran. It was only a day or two ago that I passed the halfway point between old hand and veteran. After making 700 posts to move through six levels, having to post 500 more times to move up one level don't seem so close to me, but!
