I do believe I'm over 2000 posts - so my Pulitzer status should be safe. <g>
<runs off to check as she posts...>
EDITED -- ACK!!! What happened? I have 2044 posts and I still only have a Kerth - I'm getting jipped!
<DJ wanders out of the thread pouting... what does a girl have to do around here....> What? What? 2000 posts aren't enough for a Pulitzer? What's the Pulitzer level, please? Ann

I'm a "Dog Show Reporter"!!! *throws a Lois Lane hissy fit* I don't do dog shows! Maybe I would if LabRat were a contestant... Imagine LabRat standing up on hind legs, paws frantically hitting the keyboard of a computer. Everyone looks on in awe as those large paws manage somehow to hit the keys... one at a time. The crowd goes wild...

*Sigh* Welcome to the dog show ranks with me Sammy. Don't worry. We'll rise above it! I have a new respect for Lois' dread when she sees Perry assigning dog shows. Laura

I think there ought to be a "blogger" level in there somewhere... might be more enjoyable than reporting on dog shows! If only I had the power to change it myself... oh, wait... I do...  Okay, new levels: 0 Blogger 50 Freelance Reporter 100 Beat Reporter 300 Columnist 500 Features Writer 750 Front-Page Journalist 1000 Merriwether 1500 Kerth 2500 Pulitzer Seemed a bit more logical (and dignified!) to me... PJ p.s., I didn't set the Pulitzer level at 2500 posts, someone else did. Do we want to bring it back down to 2000?

I get my head around one thing and you have to change it - why not to "intern" or something like that? And maybe you could have "foreign correspondent" as well.

Hey guys Just a friendly reminder that the size limit for avatars on these boards is 100x100 pixels, as explained in the Picture Posting FAQ : Avatars, the small pictures that show under a user's name, are different and are limited in size. They should not be any wider than 100 pixels and no taller than 100 pixels. We've noticed a couple of people's avatars in this thread are larger than that. If you don't know how to resize your avatar, write to the admins by clicking on the link on the front page to contact us, and we'll help you. Oh, and if you're not sure how to see what size your avatar is, right-click on the picture and select properties. We really should add this to the general boards FAQ, I suppose...

Probably should have looked at the statuses before and said so a couple days before now... but going to say it anyway ('cause, you know, I wouldn't mind getting *at least* my Kerth back!) *lol* I'm looking at the list and - up to the awards, which are logical anyway - the others are actual positions that someone might have on their business card (*lol*). Except one. Front-Page Journalist. AFAIK, any reporter can get a front page article if the news is big enough... Wouldn't the next logical step be Senior Reporter - that's something you're likely to get promoted to. IMHO... even though no one asked.

How about these titles:
Intern
Gopher
Copy Boy
Editor in Chief (or Chief)
The King
Suit Up There (because it's always the suits up there who make life hard for our favourite reporters)
Low Man (since we already have Top Banana)
The only known quantity that moves faster than
light is the office grapevine. (from Nan's fabulous Home series)

I love the fact that we have such a wide range of statuses now and all so inventive! I seem to recall that when the original list was made it was just something hastily put together and we never gave much thought to it, really. It was kind of low down on our priority list at the time, I think. <g> Well done to everyone who suggested these.  LabRat
