Well, wow, so I have! Thank you very much, foshizzle. And here I was thinking that with a topic with my name in the subject, I had probably done something grossly inappropriate. (Or someone found out that I do grossly inappropriate things.)

I have now reached the exclusive club occupied by members with the title of "Guru," which strikes me as a little too Eastern for a Christian forum, but still, I am, according to www.dictionary.com "A) A teacher and guide in spiritual and philosophical matters. B) A trusted counselor and adviser; a mentor." Anyone wishing to become my apostle should place at my feet their bodies and possessions, for there can be no gain without sacrifice. Assuredly, using your bodies as a convenient place to put my feet will be most uncomfortable for me, but I only do it because I care for your spiritual wellbeing.

I wonder if I get a company watch from otseng or something.

I think they must be in backorder because I have yet to receive mine.

As we await for our watches, welcome to the guru status!

Looks like someone's about to reach the big "2K" (Otseng

)

FWIW

Guru comes from the combination of two Sanskrit words 'gu', a 'dispeller', and 'ru' meaning 'darkness.

But of course I knew that, Bernee. Being a guru, there is no shadow that cannot be pierced by the radiance of my wisdom. Or something.

So, uh, as a test, can anyone tell me what FWIW stands for?

Why, thank you. I don't recall anyone congratulating you for achieving your status, so I'll give you a belated congratulations. A belated congratulations for making guru, otseng!
