Your an oldbie when....

you ask where's doc lately,
get topics thrown off milesbuzz
offer dubious coupons on the exchange
post a question about how slow the board is lately
argue with a moderator
get personal emails from randy
complain about newbie questions

and I'm sure there are others, help me out here
