Strangely looking at the member list in posting number order we actually do seem to have a fairly normal 'naval' heirachy:

ignoring the Archive user of course. So we have 1 admiral of the fleet, 1 Vice Admiral and 1 Rear Admiral and so forth.

Well Martin, it's nice to be a Commorode, I think these pages are probably my best hope of reaching those dizzying heights !!

More amusingly (I think), have you heard the phrase "the Vice of a Vice Admiral is the Rear of a Rear admiral." ? Keep your wits about you when those boys are about

I'll have to steer clear of Andrew until I get promoted, then

I think the idea of awarding ranks was good-at-the-time. It helped to get the new website off to a good start. But I think it is time to re-examine and modify the basis of promotion. I would suggest the following.

Instead of promoting on the basis of number of posts, we should perhaps consider a member's real worth to the class. Such as the number of championships attended, number of open meetings attended, whether on the association committee etc. It would, of course, adversely affect me. I would be cashiered to the lowest rank! No doubt, that would please Robert.

What do others think?

The ranking system as used by the software is by posting number. I could always increase the number of posts required to attain ranks. Anything else would be just too complex to maintain and timeconsuming so the short answer is Nope!

Hi Martin,

That's OK.

Very soon, the Sprints will have more admirals than the Royal Navy, who currently have more admirals than ships!

Aren't we all admirals of our little ships?

Hi Robert
I see that you have a handsome self portrait of your good self above your rank, these days. Did you do it or did Martin select the picture for likeness?
I guess it must be one of the new features that has been incorporated when I was not paying attention.
Cheers

PS Frank has always wanted a pie AND chips as the grubguru. If he is on the ball he could search out a picture of some chips and add it............

It's a state of mind thing. Martin did convert a recent picture of me down to size but I decided I looked too old so I picked out a likeness of my inner self. I used Microsoft Office Picture Manager to resize and compress it. Not sure if Frank's digits would be delicate enough for the task...

I worked it out and I suspect that EVEN the grubguru will......................
