RE:sulking because nobody complimented him upon his Addiction
i actually think focusing on stranger, newbie, addict, and all the other titles is stupid, and leads to the idea that being a pooh bah is superior to a newbie..
i am very pleased that no one notice my last two title changes.. i don't think being a pooh bah means anything, except i have a good on line connections, and more time on line than some. Annastrophic has been around much longer, and still isn't a pooh bah-- does that make her contributions less valuable?
I don't care about the titles.. i can see how, at first, this board attracted users who where not familiar with BB software, and the idea of titles. but since we know the title are just a soft ware "feature" why do we still think they are important?
if you are new, you can click on Max's signature, which will take you to his wonderful page with tips, trick and links back to some discussion about titles.. or you could LIU.

Progressive Category Groupings of Awad posters, Mz. Troy, are, I think, in a word- "fun". Milum.

An old friend of mine had two Australian Shepherd dogs, one named Aussie, the other named Arriet. The great thing about the (admittedly cheezy) joke is that you only get it if you know the Australian pronunciation and the old US TV show (Ozzie and Harriet). By the way, do you call them Australian Shepherds in Australia (since they actually originated in France or somewhere)? Here's a link to a photo of one, in case you don't know what breed I'm talking about: http://www.australianshepherds.org/adult.html

OOPs, like me, she was quiet about her promotion, and i missed it..
i did become a pooh bah before her, for no other reason than i didn't move, or have to replace my hard ware, or worse yet, have to share telephone line time with someone else! No skill or expertize is associated with being a pooh bah.. just the number of posts.

… and Tassie - zz
Hey paulb, where you been? Lurking in the background somewhere. Hey stales, doc, you didn't tell me we had a Taswegian with us! Hello!! What a good cross-country representation we have.

Damn it's good to have Hev around
"Oh!" she says, blushing with all the false modesty she can muster.
And stales, were I around when you became an addict, I would have been congratulating you! Actually I would have said Congrats. Why? Because it's shorter!
And now, back to our sponsor: words. I used to hang around with a whole lot of USns, who were often offended by the common Aussie use of the word "Damn". Can someone (anyone? Bueller? Bueller?) confirm whether this is still a no-no?

Helen, I totally agree with you. Occasionally (not always, mind you! ) it ends up being a question of quality vs quantity. (back to settling in to the snowy scape and fighting over computer time...)
