I guess God's in his heaven and all right with the world then, and it's all a failure to communicate.
I don't object to certain words and their usage (although personally I feel a little decorum goes a long way, but that's not my business.), but to new fellows being imprinted with the idea that somehow the longer one has been "aware" of her existence, the more browny points one has earned in this community, which leads to tripfagging, inner circles, popularity contests and ultimately, the nukes and the fate of oblivion that has befallen so many cracky boards and communities.
A little lurking goes a long way, but to present a seniority card on any inquiry is just bad form, and the reason for forced anonymity here in the first place.
Her presence is not to derive power from, but to attain happiness from, or insight, or even just to plainly gaze at pretty pictures. In that regard we're all equal, and the only one more equal is herself, and any "new", "old", or "inner" moniker is antithetical to that goal, and thereby antithetical to her purpose.
No harm, no foul. Enjoy your day, and my apologies for any harsh words I might have uttered.
