I just wanted to inform you all that I have been promoted to the office of "Veteran" of BT nation. I wanted to thank you all as I could not have done it without you.

Congratulations Keith.  I still have a little ways to go yet...I think this makes about 23?  But like you I often, no always, get sucked into this site and can't get away.  So I'm sure I'll be a 'Veteran' along with you soon enough!!

Wish me luck...

Travis

...now, what was I SUPPOSED to be doing????

From the looks of the post count, 100 posts. Congrats, you now are elevated above newbies and members.

Jason - It takes hard work, determination, the help of friends and above all - blowing off all other responsibilities and spending that precious time posting in the forums!!

Welcome to the site.

Bry you're just gonna have to get that IM time down my friend! If you can knock 20-30 minutes off that time I'll put in a good word for you at the next Vets Only meeting (held at an undisclosed location of course!)

Great, I am working at it!!! Unfortunatley I will not be doing another IM until 2006. I am getting married this July, so that is what I am training for now!

What do you call the word 'shiny'? Your ass hasn't seen a can of Mom's Robo-polish since 2080.

Apologies to non-Futurama fans.
