I would say that most folks here are somewhere in between a Newbie and a FOG.
I think of a Newbie as someone that has been here less then 6 months and are still under a probationary period.
It's not about time served, it's about participation and knowledge.
I have been here since 2005, but I don't consider myself a FOG.

Smoke the GOF and be proud.
Just think, the bills for college will be rolling in soon... :laugh:
