The only problem with the "Wise Guy" rank is one of the meanings: "a person who makes sarcastic or cheeky remarks to demonstrate their cleverness". Not sure if that's how I wish to be known. :roll:

Yes, I mentioned that in the other topic viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5651, deliberately ambiguous, but the sarcastic meaning is spelled in one word - wiseguy - so you are OK.

Edit, I've decided that the title Wise Guy is likely to be misinterpreted too often and a step too far for some members, so I've changed it to Wise Man

Isn't that too gender specific in these enlightened times?

I have thought of that. I have other titles in mind for our female members but none have reached a number threshold yet and unlikely to do so for a while.
