Of course,
Dovster, you and I did not help matters any with regard to our mis-direction of the first thread...
I had forgotten about that first thread -- but you are right, you and I managed to destroy it completely without getting an answer.
Randy did give a reply in the second thread (which I had never seen before), but I suspect that his guess was wrong:

I think it's because for some forums there is a 60-day period of registration before use and my guess is that the 'registered' simply is counting toward that time period and once you pass the date, the title comes off. Only my non-expert, non-tech observation.
So tech guys, how did i do? Was I right?
As there are quite a few newbies without "Registered User" under their names, it appears that the tech people should have told Randy that he struck out. Of course, as they were working for him in those days that might not have been the most political move they could make.
They gave no answer at all, leaving this perplexing question unanswered.
(Should it ever be resolved, I will come up with an even more difficult one concerning how many angels can fit on the head of a pin.)
