Being a GOF, and beyond does have its advantages Dave.
I remember (only because I wrote it down) when I first came to JPF and saw all those Serious Contributor sigtns and wondered if I would ever make that status.
Wouldn't have been surprised if I hadn't as nobody has ever taken me seriously.
Well the missus chose to just the once.
And that time I was realy joking.
But she had witnesses, and them days I really though breech of promise was a jailable offence.
These days I figure jail may have been the soft option.
Anyway. Next time I looked I found I was in fact a serious contributor with some 3,000 post racked up.
Was sure somebody had been ringing some in until I got the ISP bill.
Was then I swore to slow down.
I swore to give up smoking with the same result once or ten times too mind you.
These days. I have slowed down some.
Which is a pity as, I have heard when you hit the 10,000 posts the serious contributor sign is replaced with one thst says "Don't let this happen to you. Get a life before it's too late. Posting on JPF is habit forming, and can contribute to behavioual disorders such as, only being able to sleep in front of a computer. Losing the power of speech. Forgetting which way town is. Forgetting how to drive. Regretting ever buying a computer. losing the ability to click a log off switch. writing the dumbest things just to get one more post up. You have been warned."
