Wink I'm not a "Newbie" anymore!


How do I shed the label "Newbie," that appears when I post to Linux Forums? Honestly, while I was certainly a "Newbie" when I first converted from 100% Win to 100% Gnu/Linux early last year, over that time I've learned a lot, accomplished a lot, and even though I'll not claim to be anywhere near an expert, I'm certainly not so much a "Newbie." This is not a huge issue, rather a mild, but increasing, irritation.
