Power User

Uh, thank you Brad?

http://drguy.joeuser.com/index.asp?AID=82896

With all this points wars going on, I have not really been paying attention to mine.  Because as many others have stated, I blog for my own reasons, and points are just an abacus that counts the tax, not the content.

But I just created a special group.  The group is made up not of like minded people (indeed all of them BBQed my tail), but ones I owe an explanation to about an article (Shades, Baker and Mano, please view the link - oh, and if anyone else can view it, let me know.  I tried to restrict it, but it is my first attempt at that feature).

IN creating the special group, I discovered I am a Power User! Say what?

Yea, I am a 2!  I thought I was just a citizen!  INdeed, that is what I have always been!  But now I am a PU (yea I stink too!).

Well, I dont know what you are, and I cant tell you how I got to be A number 2 (oh yes I can!  And I am sure thatoneguy and kingbee can tell you too!), but I am.

SO power on!  My insightfuls just got doubled!  Quake in your boots you ne'er do wells!  I can zap you with a single troll rating! Be afraid!  Be very afraid!

What?  What did you say Brad?

Oh, sorry, Brad says I am still a pip squeak. ;-)

I really have no clue how to get that status.....oh, well...someday my time will come.

I bow to you, my lord. and hope that one day I may join your rank in the Imperial House of the Power Users.

The House Atreides does not require servitude of its subjects.  But just some attaboys now and then!

Rise my noble subject!  Go out and slay the House Harkonnen!

(am I drunk on power?  Nope!  Just reading Brian Herberts trilogy!)

Meh, power just makes you egotistical... like me...

Now, if there were REAL power to this, JoeUsers would be shaking in fear, lol...

Congrats, Dr.Guy.

It's my understanding that having an elevated blogger status is Brad's way of saying, "your blog is the kind of thing I want to encourage here for the good of the site." That's quite an accolade. Good job!

Personally, I doubt that I will EVER be anything beyond Citizen, because I'm on Brad's radar, and have been with JU for a year, and evidently he is not impressed.

But I'm not bitter.

Hehe.

Tex is right.  Being elevated is, in my understanding, an encouragement to keep blogging here.  Brad likes you, what you write, and wants you to stay.

I'm an 'Elite' user.  How I got that, I don't know why.....

Congrats on the promotion!

Au contraire.  I bet you are headed for the big top as well.  Have you checked your rating lately?

Can I be your lackey?

No, I think you have not popped up on his radar screen yet.  Keep blogging.  You will get there!

Yes you did, and yes it is. Now I have to live up to it!

Should I wear the yellow shirt with my khakis or the green one? It was so easy before.
