I would like to have the following terms defined; 'newbie' and 'veteran'. Both of these terms are used a great deal on Esato and there has been discussion on what they mean in the past, but there seems to be differing views on actual definitions (if any exist).
Before anyone gets on their high horse about this, I am just asking out of curiosity.

Perhaps I could use myself as an example here of what Scotsboy is saying. I have only been on Esato since April of this year (2004), so just about 5 months, which kind of makes me a newbie, but.... I have over 500 posts!
Does that make me a newbie or a veteran then?

I wish you were
If we were going down that road I would prefer 'Sony' as the term for the older members.
@all
When does a newbie stop being a newbie? What makes a veteran a veteran, the number of posts made or the length of time spent as a member? Is there a term for members not part of either of these two groups?

I guess this question is like asking when does young stop being young and become old?
I might be 42 but I still feel young, however to my 12 and 14 year old kids I am old!
clearly its not a question that can be answered with any specific and definitive answer as it depends on the individual perspective of the each person
I can only see that a thread like this only raises a divisive issue and am not sure its in the best interests of Esato, but lets see how it goes for a while
