Oh No!

[Lynn O. Doughty]

I just noticed that now I'm a "Senior" member! What does this qualify me for? Cup of coffee? Can I put "SM" behind my name now?

Let's see....Lynn O. Doughty, AACWWDGACWOTBJDITHF, COUW, SM

Hey, I'm beginning to like it!

[Kenny_S]

Nah lynn, It just means you have bucket mouth on the board. No cup of Java, but does entitle you to bucket mouth some more.
BTW, I notice a couple of letters missing in your title.
That was meant in a good way!

[Lynn O. Doughty]

GAPW? Great and Powerful Wizard? or...
OGWOTSU? Old Gizzard Who Ought To Shut UP?

[Kenny_S]

Just kidding Lynn, I enjoy your postings for sure. That ain't no Bovine Secretion either!

[Joy]

Okay!!! But what does it really mean?

[Anthony Filetti]

...it probably doesn't help that he has a birthday coming up!!

[Kenny_S]

It could be "Senior Moment" instead of "senior member". ya know how these older gentlemen are! But, I will go along with him.heheheheheheheheheheheh

Besides, we may not want to know what the other letters stand for
or
Maybe since Lynn is a "Senior Citizen" with "Senior Moments",he may not remember what all the letters stand for
or
forget what they stand for half way through them.Talking

Lynn, anytime I can help you out, just let me know

[Anthony Filetti]

..so Kenny what you are saying is...that we shouldn't put him out to pasture just yet??? Sarcastic

joy,

After you have been a member and have contributed to several hundred conversations or have started topics, the number of posts start to count up, there is a setting apparently 900 posts that trigger the moniker "member" to change to "senior member", this indicates (in most cases) that the member is a good egg, and is willing to contribute comment. not that they are a boomer... or old...as some think

"soapbox mode on"

in many individuals teachers efforts here on the fourm, too many names to list here, but like as lynns, there ought to be another trigger pulled....
one to call him/her master instructor, carving progenitor, for all the teaching, construction and paint methods, they have contributed, and posted for all the new carvers presently and in the future to discover... or maybe a colored ribbon, icon added to the moniker, indicating the above and beyond efforts these individuals put forth to teach, this mediocre carver, how to carve these fantastic works of art.
My thanks to all these folks until your better paid.
one mans opinion!
