It made me curious so I looked at my name and I am listed as a "Wrench Fetcher". I love it. I am honored to be promoted to wrench fetcher as I probably don't deserve to even carry the tools of some of the very knowledgeable and experienced members on this site. I can't start my day anymore without checking out the latest post. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | Sounds like you're addicted/afflicted...join the crowd! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Dave, its just a "moniker" all in good taste as we get to know each other. We were all "new guy" and "wrenchfetcher" in the beginning. As you post and your post count goes up the "designation" you receive will change. I don't know the "numbers" as to when but they do change. However, that is no sign of seniority. Some members may not post a lot and still be a new guy. You can always see that on the right side of our post as to when we joined and the post count. As you can see, my post count is quite high...but not as high as "Jokers". I've been here a while but as one of the moderators for the welcome center my post count doesn't signify I'm any smarter than anyone else or that the post were made answering questions. I think this should explain it...... Congrats on your promotion to Wrench Fetcher  See ya around the garage. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,074 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,074 | An FYI (since I saw this question another time), 15000 posts is "Boltergeist" -- I think John made that one up specifically for Joker since he *may* have the most posts on the site. We saw a movie the other day (sci fi, of course) that had some interesting creature. We thought it would make a good title for the next step up in the Bolter titles. I should have written it down because I don't remember it. It was funny, tho - with the Bolter twist to it. As Alvin mentioned, we have a lot of folks who don't post much ... or they PM (a bit shy, I suppose). It's never been a criteria for how much you know ... or don't. We need something clever besides "new guy" ... wonder what we had before??? When we had an upgrade, I think we lost the custom titles we made. We were frantically getting all the other things fixed, that we put these titles together as best we could remember. Memory is getting to be one of our NOT strong points.  Peg

You should tell John that I recommend that. Where would we all "bee" without you? See what your "honey" says to that.

I have had plenty of shots at that. Good thing we moved every three years (USMC), or I would have been beheaded a few times. Maybe I can change it to "tired old bee" next birthday. Better than "an old bat" ... Peg

Wrench Fetcher, PhD | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,074 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,074 | Yes, this was nice to re-visit. Seems as I am clearing out stuff, I am coming across little fix-its here and there. I like it that we are a bunch of wrenchers. We liked it so much, that was the main point on the Homecoming t-shirts. We may have to do something in CafePress. The other most popular "statement" about this lot is the "Social Networking with a Wrench" ... hope to do more. *Plan* to do more. You all with bucket lists -- my list would be a blank page.
