[LCHIEN]

Hmmm, no new title for 2000+ posts?
finally made it and i'm still just a zealot.

Once a zealot, always a zealot.

Heck, I'm happy I finally made it to Craftsman!

OK, I'm just full of dumb questions tonight: Where do these titles show up?

Hey Loring, Good work is its own reward!

I noticed that I slipped down a notch to JeffW over the week. Been doing too much traveling and getting ready for an upcoming move too. Might slip a little more.

One definition I've seen of "zealot" is: "One who is zealous, especially excessively so." I can't see how you can be more than zealous, so there really is no point in having yet another title.

Come to that, what's the point anyway [?] Sam has arranged for the number of posts to be shown below the member's forum name. Isn't the number of posts sort of incidental [?] If the earliest members had posted a one-line welcome to every following new member, then the current member count would make them "Zealots" from doing that alone.

On the other side of that coin, some members have been around for a lot longer than I have, yet have single-figure post counts. So what [?] The date of joining is also shown with the number of posts, but as the long-time single-figure posters show, that may not be significant either, although it is certainly more interesting.

To me, this forum is a bit like the Cheers bar for woodworkers (although I don't mean to start another thread in working out who's playing what part!). What I mean is that there are those who are more "talkative" than others and those who contribute more than others [8)] - and that those qualities are not always interlinked. [:0] That's life, here and everywhere else.

I've never seen the point of having the often-misleading classifications and I would not miss them if they disappeared altogether. [^] JMAO.

What keeps count of your posts? I just noticed that my post count has'nt changed since last month.Not that its any big amount,but its not changing.

[LCHIEN]

I was just funnin' y'all.

I do need more shop time, F.T. - I hate to say it but sometimes this is almost more fun.[]
and probably I am excessively zealous, Ray - an accurate observation.

The titles aren't important - we had fun at the beginning just to see what titles would come up at the different levels, if some of you "old-timers" remember.[8D]

If you want to see the "titles", Tim, click on the "Members" list at the top of the pages.

Maybe you are comparing the count displayed on a new message vs. the count displayed on an old message? Rather than the actual change in post counts over time?

Every time a message is displayed, the forum software looks up the "Current" count for the author and displays that number whether the message is old or new and regardless of the author's post count at the time the message was penned.

If this is Cheers, then I want to be Norm. Too old to be Sam, plus we already have one of those.

2000!! For Real. I'm having enough trouble getting to "1000".
When I reach 1000, I'm gonna do "Snoopydances" all across my monitor screen.

You and me Brutha.... guess we aren't inflating our post count numbers![)]

I have cut down on my posts, because I felt like I was posting just to have a higher #. But good for ya'll
