Hmm, but what are you going to call me? I'm not much older than you are
(I'm 18), but I've been on LUGNET since the beginning, and before that on
RTL since '96 :)

Thanks! I patiently await my birthday present to myself :) (ie, the
LUGNET membership packet)

Now I am in a quandry...I am....over 30....and I have only been lurking/
posting in RTL and Lugnet for 1 year....
However, I did get my first yellow Castle when it was new for 1980 ...lol
I guess I am a "junior golden oldie" or a "geriatric newbie"....

Hmm... if I'm not a newbie, then you sure aren't either. I've been lurking on
lugnet since it started, but only really started posting around September this
year. I feel like I know everyone because I've read everyone's posts, saw
everyone's sites (well, almost everyone's) and feel connected to a lot of
people. Being a newbie is, I think, a state of mind, which might/might not be
connected to how long you've been on lugnet. You can *feel* like an old-timer
even if you've only been on lugnet for a month, IMO...
Oh, and BTW, happy b-day!

True. I'd feel like a newbie if I got into robotics more... I think you
stop being a newbie when you start getting mildly annoyed by seeing the
same questions over and over again :)

Thanks! (It was on the 4th, actually--didn't get any LEGO
<sarcastic>surprise, surprise!</sarcastic>)

<clown mode> Well then I'm definitely not a newbie anymore! <);-) </clown mode>

If it's any consolation, I never do either. I asked for a metroliner for my
15th birthday, about 10 months in advance... my parents said they'll get me
one IF I'm still into lego at 15 (they didn't believe I would be!). Well, my
15th birthday came and went, guess what I didn't get...
From the second I started buying my own sets, I haven't gotten any lego
presents (except for some distant friends that wanted to buy me a gift so my
dad said 'lego'. Of course, they shopped by age range and got me some cyber-
master sets. Isn't that fun). OK, now I'm being sarcastic.
