Congrats TEddy. Member sounds so dignified and staunch. Doesn't enthusiast sound so much more excitingly fun. (she says while silently whispering in your ear…it’s all a ploy to help move you quietly and painlessly on your way to addict, run away, run away  )

There was an old poster called Marty

Once a stranger (September),
Newbie, journeyman, member,
But now as enthusiast I'll PARTY !
Happy 200th post to me!
(I think that's called burgling your own bugle!)

Well done, Marty! I have noticed several graduations recently - Bel, Jazz, troy. I didn't wish to post separate contrafibularities to avoid any accusation of self-serving altruism. To all who have recently fallen deeper under AWAD's spell - keep feeding that monkey until your back can't take the strain!

My dear Helen, Belated congrats to you and all. Also belated welcome to those who joined up while I was "down". Helen, when you want to put colors and a slew of other things into your posts, go up to the top of your typing screen and click on markup in your posts. These will also work in private messages, but I try to be extra-vigilant there, because you can't Preview your private message. I do advise you to Preview a post where you've used the markup stuff--it's very easy to make { instead of [, or to omit the /, etc. This stuff won't work unless you get everything exactly right. (I know I saw this advice on another thread today, but I don't think it can hurt to keep repeating it, esp. as long as new folks keep signing on.) Also, somewhere today I saw a partial post (not a parcel post! ), can't recall by whom--if you want to delete any post, click on the "left-most" one of the two gold boxes at the right of the top bar of that post. This is how you edit, also. I feel sure there can only be one Chief. The rest of us will have to be Indians (native American, that is), acc'g to the old saying.

It's Stranger(0), Newbie(25), Journeyman(50), Member(100), Enthusiast(200), Addict(400) As of this writing, we know that at 700 posts we get the title Old Hand.
Seems like after 1000 or 1500 or so we should get to be Geezers.

Dear Jackie.
It was mea culpa. I hit control -- or something strange --and off it went. When it vanished I thought I'd cleared the form by accident. It wasn't until I saw it on the board that I realized I'd partial posted. Do the buttons work when it's already gone into the Great Beyond?
wow

several graduations recently
Perhaps this is just my presumptuous self speaking, but I smell an unprecedented graduation coming. Logic tells me that Jackie will be advancing in another 20 posts when she reaches 1100.
Of course, I was wrong at 700 . . .
