So now I'm a guru!
 

OK, I know it's something you get automatically if you hang around here long enough. They call you a guru and hope that satisfies you and shuts you up. But I like it all the same. Delayed Christmas present.

Congrats Hazel. Some of your posts have taught me new things.

Congrats!

Assuming you know it's based on post count, user titles per post count? Reminding that you can opt for some variety of selections by editing your profile Custom User Title.

Well, Harry, you taught me a lot too, back in the Linux Forum days. I always regarded you as an authority, especially on AntiX.

@rtmistler. Yes, all the forums do it the same way. Though I believe on this forum only technical posts count towards the total.

When I started on Linux Forums, I was on dialup so I couldn't hang around all day looking for posts to answer. It took me years before I had accumulated enough posts that they stopped calling me a newbie.

You've been a guru for a long time before LQ recognised you as such.
That's never fooled me for a second. ;)
Congrats!!!

What brianL said.

congrats,
I crossed that line recently also. I don't consider myself a guru, don't like the addict with it's connotations, or belonging to a club, so went with veteran

I rather fancy myself as a guru actually, so I think I'll keep it that way.

Hmmm - does that mean all us non-guru types can quietly exit LQ and leave you to handle things then ? .... :p

No, that wouldn't work at all. Who would solve all my problems if you went away?

I chose LQ 5K Club because:
LQ Guru: Might mislead people into believing I actually know stuff.
LQ Addict: Well, it's easier to give up LQ than to give up smoking.
LQ Veteran: I've had minor scuffles here, but no major battles.

Congratulations Hazel!
Given that posts in the General forum don’t count, Guru fits you,

Congratulations Hazel! My hat is off to you. :hattip:

Tops Hazel well done mate! Now you becoming the "old breed"

I totally agree with what I quoted above that brianL said, spot on brianL!

Apparently it'll be around 2025 sometime (based on my current posting rate here) before my title changes (or I can change it), so assuming I'm still around by the time I make 5000 posts here... I'd very likely choose "LQ Veteran" since I doubt I've taught much to anyone here, and what brianL said about what I've quoted above from them as well. I'm also not interested in being in any "club" either.

But whatever :shrugs:
