    i second it all see this thread ~ http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=550874 ~ you will be more than mad when you read peoples 'star name' if they are over 10,000 post... i am so mad motz.gif

    I don't like the new terms at all, they must have been thought up in a hurry

    post #14 in the thread linked above has a couple of much better (imho) sounding names for people with high post counts

    EDIT ... I wasn't paying attention & find I've duplicated what rog2 said in post #28, sorry rog :o
    EDIT again, & Dr Hook,s #24, sorry again :o

    Certainly Money Saving - I don't DARE use the word 'Mad' :rotfl: :rotfl:
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    This is going to sound thick but whats a Stalwart.

    Again, sammi, you need to be careful using this word, as it COULD be offensive to some.
    The 'Stalwarts' were a part of the United States Republican Army in the 19th century.
    As an adjective 'stalwart' is also another word for 'strong'.

    Much better - unless somebody has heard of a tenth generation descendant of the milk delivery person to a remote hill tribe in Outer Bogistan, called 'frugal' - we wouldn't want to offend him, would we? :rolleyes:

    Or his cousin 'savvy' :rotfl:

    I think you'll find 'Stalwart' is a contraction of the phrase 'stale wart' - a highly unpleasant and offensive term :p

    Me either - 'inhabitant' makes you sound like a parasite or squatter! :rotfl:

    Thankfully I have some way to go before I get to 10k.
