That's right. Flyertalk newbies (trusting as they are) associate post count and joined date with accuracy. YMMV.

Well, you can get rid of the titles. I don't mind.

<180 FT Lurker

180-10,000 FT Poster

10,000-20,000 FT Fanatic

20,000-30,000 FT Over poster

30,000-50,000 FTer with a serious posting issue

50,000 + FTer with no life
Can't argue with a Washington insider. @:-)

Sorry if I left one or 2 of you out when I was quoting.
