Thank you Laura!

I just managed to beat you with less than 15 hours to spare.

Now we'll need to define how to get the two side bars to be the same color as the middle one.  😉

LOL!  Probably change one of the bars after receiving over 1 or 2 K stars.   😄

 Probably change one of the bars after receiving over 1 or 2 K stars

Indeed! the stars should count somewhere!

At present, they just make you a 'trusted' or a 'proven' xyz

Maybe a new colored bar for a starry milestone!

They already picked out the color... see Ben & Dennis' center bar.  It's an orange / dark-mustard color (on this monitor).

It looks as though they need to get the other two sidebars 😉

1K stars to bump the first bar sounds like a good idea!

Now a question of protocol.

Yesterday afternoon I returned home to find this

in a package at my front door. Well my wife decided that I should have it. I told her that I was not qualified to wear it becuase we do not know at what level the Knight of NI title will be awarded. She was bummed out thinking that we could hang out together me wearing the the above and her wearing her "Guns don't kill people, magic missle do." shirt (which I believe is the real reason she placed the order ).

So i am looking for feedback from the community and LAURA about;

1) Will the "Knights of NI" status ever become a reality?

2) If so can we establish a threshold? (please don't make it higher than 7500 )

3) Could I wear it to signify myself as a "Knight of the Wanabe Order"?

What do you think? "Hmmmmmmmm?" (Lucy of Peanuts)

Ben

PS: Yes I'm in a silly mood this morning.

Well, I can appreciate making it interesting for Dennis.

Does anyone know what the shelf life for a T-shirt is?

Ray,

I'll pass along the secret comment to my better half. She'll apreciate it.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the great T-shirt picture! 

To answer your questions:
1.  I certainly would like it to become a reality.  Let's just say I'm working on it
2.  I agree with JoeLabView about the threshold - Dennis is still on pace to reach 10,000 relatively soon!  I certainly will take other's thoughts into consideration about this.
3.  That T-shirt is so awesome that I don't know how you could wait to wear it!

I hope you all have a Happy New Year!

Laura

P.S. I was trying to get the new rank up before you hit 5,000 but at least I wasn't too far behind
