I like it. I think there should be more levels.

Whew! What a relief! I worried that my carefully concealed age had been revealed, resulting in this dubious designation... Glad to know it's only the result of prolific posting...

Thanks, pal!
I'm not dead yet, I only smell that way at times.

What! It's not your age?
Anyone over 50 should be a senior member from day one.

20k means "get a life"

Does this mean we have to call people "SIR" and salute?

Actually, Charlie is older than me. And he's running replacement parts.

Another point of view
I usually try to be a peacemaker on the various forums I frequent, but I'll take a contrary stand on this particular issue.
To me, granting different titles based on post count is counter-productive in a couple of ways:
- It encourages the notion of a "caste" society, i.e., a "Senior Member is somehow better than just a plain old "Member"
- It encourages nonsense or trash posting, just to raise post count, so a "Member" can elevate themselves to "Senior" status sooner
I favor (and would propose) doing away with the tiered titles, and calling everyone simply "member".
FWIW.

I don't care what you title me as long as I can participate in the forum. Who gives a rats butt if you're a member or a senior member or as old as rburg, Charlie, Onomea or anyone else. (Hehe!) ;.)
If this really means anything to you, forget about 20K posts, you better get a life now.

Ahhh. But I'm not a Senior Member..
And...while many figure my posts are trash, at least I'm not usually at a loss for words. That's a nice way of saying I waste more bandwidth than my meager post count would indicate!

I'm not worthy ...
I hope no offense was taken, Dick. While you certainly have a large ... uh, post count, I would never attribute that to "padding" or "racking up" the numbers. I always enjoy what you have to say ... er, write, anyway.

I think he cuts and pastes a lot. Nobody is that verbose.....
....or, maybe I should say loquacious....
naaahhhh, verbose!

Boy!
I'm sure glad somebody got that cleared up!
All this time I thought I had gotten it because of my AARP gold card?
