After a too short period of time I've had my title changed.

While that's nice, I sorta like the way the word lurker sounds, it just fits better.

Is there any way to trade member for "Master Lurker" maybe ??

From what I understand you must provide the moderators with copious amounts of beer to get it changed.

Sheer bribery aside, at what magical posting milestones do the titles change?

You'd have to quit posting to keep the title.

Yes, 'banned' is a sobriquet that can be attributed.

not policing you, but this is my pet peeve - i.e. means id est, Latin for "that is".

You wanted to say e.g., which means exempli gratia, Latin for "for example".

I know, it is counter-intuitive, but it shows that some basic Latin goes a long way.

Thanks for taking me back to the painful memories of differential equations! My professor was a stickler on the correct use of i.e. and e.g. On the plus side, it's now permanently etched into my head.

"Not worth banning" "Banned" and I think once "douchebag" or something.

Not sure how the "Foiled" one came about but it makes me laugh every time.

i.e. - e.g. LURKER
Actually, I believe "id est" is spot on, the trouble being the

pluralization of title, or the correctness of the use of a word e.g. title,

but i speciffically wanted to draw attention to the word 'LURKER',

a word of which or to which I become more enamoured each day.

Yet my love of languages has often been compared to a quick rendezvous

in a dark alley with someone quite large, any way may the FORCE be

'cum spiri tu tuo'! OK that twas phonetic but i just finished the

"Hooked on Ebonics" course at Ad. Ed.
