Don't worry, VG, you're not alone. You see, we members of the elite brainwash each other so we don't even know, ourselves, that we're members. Your status can only be discerned-- or even conferred, for that matter-- by certain delusional outsider(s). It's all terribly tautological and impenetrable. Umberto Eco is writing a book about it, I believe.verbal gymnastics wrote: Could you at least tell me?

The uniquely delusional type of outsider required to verify elite status is almost as hard to identify. Try randomly applying a number of devices:verbal gymnastics wrote:Could a certain delusional outsider please let me know then?
1. Ridicule and Scorn, and/or;
2. Humourous retorts with double entendres that attempt to strip the original post of its intent, and/or:
3. Refusing to contribute to, or recognize a thoughtful post or milestone because the poster is not part of the board elite.
With any luck one will come forth and confirm.

Oh, look, yet another one of those captioned joke pictures. And hey, look at storm's interesting moving avatar! I can hardly contain myself... the cleverness and originality! No doubt he thought of "thanks for the info" before his search for that picture. And Jesus always had me in stitches. Perfect.
