I must admit I am surprised at all of the Charter Members that are taking the time to say: I’m back. We seem to be still be using the titles from the old board. And I though all people who let their subscriptions expire were automatically relabeled as Guests. ---

And I though all people who let their subscriptions expire were automatically relabeled as Guests. Little glitch in the system; some have the old user title even though they are guests. That will change over time. There’s more important things to deal with right now. ---

> [@An\_Gadai](#): > > Were you cheapskates all just hanging around for this day? 🙂 Well … y’know, it was a choice: Read for free - use $ to post occasional inanity ignored by all OR Read for free - use $ to accompany reading with the odd hot buttery croissant … No contest 😛 _mops pool of butter off keyboard_ ---

> [@TubaDiva](#): > > Little glitch in the system; some have the old user title even though they are guests. That will change over time. I’m not particularly attached to the appellation Charter Member, but Guest doesn’t quite fit either. I agree it’s not a front burner concern, but maybe a title like, Looks-At-Ads or Tightwad would be more appropriate. ---
