Advanced Intermediate Beginner Novice

I originally put this thread under One's thread, not realizing I could start a new independent thread here. Sorry.

This may sound weird, but I've noticed on some of your posts that it lists, for example, Calv as an "advanced" member, Steve as an "intermediate" member, etc. Me, I'm just a member. :-) What does this mean??? How does one get to be intermediate and advanced??? :-)

mo - I'm pretty sure it is related only to the number of postings you've made on FACTNet in any topic area. Calv has participated in another topic area for a long time now (his brother is involved in another cultic group discussed there), so he has a ton of postings and is therefore "advanced." I've only been participating in this topic since it started in September, so I'm "intermediate." You haven't yet posted quite as much as me, so you're still just a "member." I bet that someplace there's a list of how many postings gets you into which category. My guess is that you'll jump up into the "intermediate" category after your 100th posting.
