Roibin,
Don't let them scare you, and WELCOME !
The first entry in the graduation thread gives the number of posts for titles , oh, whatthehell....Stranger-0, Newbie-25, Journeyman-50, Member-100, Enthusiast-200, addict-400 and Old Hand 700 posts! As you whip up the ladder your "graduations" may be noticed and commented upon in the Graduation Thread or, if you are very very careful, you can quietly shinny up that ladder and be an Old Hand before anyone notices!
Get going and good luck.
wow
