So here I am with one thousand posts under my belt and I like it. Does this mean I’m officially not a newbie anymore? Do I get to learn the secret SDMB handshake? Do I have to hunt down and kill one of the older posters to make room? ---

(And you’ve already got a 1000 post?.. Hmmm… soooomebody needs to get a life!😉 Just kidding I only say that becuase I’m jealous.) Anyway FWIW I think a 1000 post qualifies you for the simulated NON- newbie status. Congrats. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by SHAKES \* > **Nope, you’re still a newbie; you only been here since Jan.** OK, let’s get this sorted now. Once and for all, is it duration of stay or post count that matters when calculating newbie/non-newbiehood? Let’s get a straight, no-bullshit answer. ---

The straight, no-bullshit answer, **Priceguy** is that it’s a subjective thing. If you’re still hesitant, error-prone, and the Clique[sub]TM[/sub] don’t admit you into the Great Halls of Power – you’re a newbie. Personally, if you’re still here regularly posting after 6 months, I reckon you’ve passed the first initiation test. We’ll get back to you about the swimming contest in the alligator pool, okay? 🙂 ---

Q.E.D - what sort of job do you have that you can afford to post a (wild) average of 25 posts per day ??? ---
