Has any body else noticed this - if you don't post for a very long period of time you fall back to being a stranger? I saw a post from one of the old timers (Rubrick) who hasn't posted for a very long time. And in his recent post he is labeled stranger, despite over 100 posts in his profile. Is this the way it is?

Does Rubrick have any comment? I've had long periods off the board, but don't seem to have 'slipped back' in any way so far.

Maybe if you don't post for a really long period of time your profile gets deleted and then you have to start up again. But then your new profile wouldn't show a hundred posts, would it? Hmmm... [will-we-ever-crack-the-code e]

Was it really a recent post or just one that says March 2000?

Dear Avy: maybe the webmaster suspected you were going to upload a Bangalore torpedo.

You are scaring me!
Would a note to webmaster@wordsmith.org be in order?
Great Poo-Bahs Tsuwm and Jackie... has this happened before?

Seems like "stranger" is the one stage that most of us (at least those of us who regret having to leave a stage) regret having to leave.
It would certainly be odd if kicking the habit led us back to being an addict again.

Jazz, I think you have the solution. Down in miscellany, I posted on a thread which has a post from Rubrick from May 2000. At that point, he probably was a stranger.

Ahh, how prosaic. I had been guessing Tsumanu's next title would be Goldfish

Dearest Avy, lovely one, calm yourself. He is listed as a
stranger in that post, but if you go to his bio, you'll see that he is a member, with 155 posts. (Incidentally, he told me that he may be coming back here before long. I hope so. He is right up there with the most knowledgeable and funny people we are privileged to have here, and they are a highly elevated bunch to keep up with.)
This brings up the closest thing I have to a complaint about this board. I really wish there was a list of the names of every person who has posted; clickable, of course.
That would make things so much easier, for me, anyway. For ex., I saw this question several hours ago, but did not have time to search the board till I found his name somewhere, so I could click on it. Oh, well, if that's the worst thing, then I'm fortunate.
"Tsumanu"?!?! Yagottabekiddin'me. Sheesh! Aunt mav, maybe you'd better get out of the ocean, now--I think you must have swallowed a hallucinatory jellyfish.
