why is it such a big deal to not be a rookie anymore?
i mean, it's just a user title...
why not say '
I can't wait until I've been around here for a bit, have checked stuff out, found some neat things and interacted with some cool people ... I can't wait until I feel more 'established' here..it's a cool website and I'm looking forward to being a part of it ...'. 
 
something like that, at least. 
that is what matters.
