Does it really matter though? I mean... its not like you get frequent flier miles or discounts at Denny's for being labeled an Advanced User or Veteran. Personally, I am more of a fan of the unique tags that have been given out over the years "Spamweight, Cheeseweight, etc etc." I find those amusing and more meaningful.
Besides... there is only appx 30 of us on the forum that are here regularly... if half of them are labeled AU or Vet... the other half know better. This place is not flooding with noobs that are going to be all starry-eyed over a members title.
Just my opinion... sorry if it offends anyone. I am cranky from working three 14 hour workdays in a row... *grrrrrr*.
