Whats it take to not be called a "newbie"

Well now, I've been coming to this site for a couple of months now. I love it! I have givin the address to 3 different V20 owners. I'm in the gallery. Whats it take to not be a newbie???

I just bought a new 6 ft St Croix with a fin nor reel for speck fishing. It is a sweet combo. Dances Sporting Goods in Petersburg Va has them for 29 bucks, the reel that is. Mr Dance is the owner of a 88 V20. Maybe he will log on one day.
