Chemeng1992 asked: How many posts does it take to lose the 'stranger' stigma?

Hope you keep posting and graduate ASAP; I've loved your stuff to date. Besides, any Cubs fan (Faldage, take note) is no stranger as far as I'm concerned.

I'm pretty new too. Note to you seniors: stranger and newbie each felt like a "stigma" to me too. Not a good signal to send. Wouldn't you say there are no strangers and newbies here, but rather "visitors" and "apprentices"?
