Congratulations to our newest Marquess -- Charlie

[leigh.bess.toad]

Charlie -- you have been a valued contributor to these forums for a long time. I always look forward to your thoughtful comments. I look forward to seeing you in PS at Oliver's little get together.

 

Congratulations on the elevation in title.

 

To our newest Marquess -- congrats Charlie.

[Bosguy]

Congratulations Charlie on your new title, but, most important, your constant dedication to the Forum and its members along with maintaining the traditions that are its solid foundation.

Rik -- this is a frequently asked question so let me go through the titles very briefly:

 

Newbie (0-9)

Novice (10-24)

Apprentice (25-49)

Journeyman (50-99)

Master (100-249)

Knight (250-499)

 

Lord (500-749)

Baron (750-999)

Viscount (1000-1999)

Count (2000-2999)

Earl (3000-3999)

 

Marquess (4000-4999)

Duke (5000-5999)

Peer (6000-7499)

Prince (7500+)

 

I think the only question I have is prince achieved at 7000 or 7500?

 

Charlie becomes the 16th member to reach the level of Marquess. Currently we have 3 members who are at the Prince Level: Deej, Lucky and Rick Munroe, we have had 3 Peers (glutes, Axiom and JTBrooklyn (now Brooklyn Guy)), 2 dukes (zipperzone and myself), 8 Marquesses, 5 Earls, 23 Counts, and 47 Viscounts. Although I must admit I haven't updated my list in a few weeks (between DC Forum lunch, illness and focusing a bit more on my life). I will try to update my list shortly.

 

There have been two other new title holders who need to be congratulated as well. Two new counts: Gar1eth and Adriano46. Sorry I missed those elevations guys. Congrats to you both as well.

[Irish69]

Thank-you very much Lee for going through all that :-)

 

Maybe Queen @ 8500 & King @ 10,000 could be added... just kidding :-)

Yes! A special congratulations to Charlie!!! His posts certainly epitomize sophistication and refinement... and as such are a special asset to the forum.

 

He may not remember, but he gave me some special advice way back when I first officially joined this site in 2005 after having lurked for the previous 5 years. He and a few other posters made me feel welcome at the time and for that I will always be grateful!

It might be pointed out that among European nobility, an Earl (British) and a Count (European) are equivalent titles, which is why in Britain, the female equivalent of an Earl is a Countess.There is no separate rank of Peer, which is a titled member of the nobility of which ever rank.

Charlie:

 

You taught me humility and honesty, both in public and privately. You are an

inspiration to everyone.

The Best to Charlie always the Classiest of Contributors!

I blush: thank you all for the kind comments. I wasn't even aware of my new rank until Lee posted this. But I don't intend to abandon my avatar, the Earl of Cottenham, as I have grown quite fond of it.

[Steven_Draker]

Some time ago a poster here asked a question of this sort: "Based solely on the postings here which escort would you like to meet in person?"

 

If we had to turn this question around, my answer would be: Charlie

 

Congrats and keep up the good work.

I was going to point this very fact out myself :-) but you beat me to it.

[justaguy]

Charlie, keep the avatar as it fits you so well. Please add my congratulations to all those already made. Yours is a voice I look to for experience and sanity in all the forums to which you post, one that supplies me with humor, good information, and well considered opinion. Again, congratulations.

Congratulations, Charlie... I always enjoy your posts...witty, sometimes scarcastic, friendly... you always seem to find the right things to say at the moment. Enjoy PS...

scarcastic

Mean overly sarcastic comment that deeply hurts people and scars them for life. It may lead them to develop self esteem issues for the rest of their lives and suicidal tendencies.

In defence of Charlie and DD...

 

Sarcasm...

 

At times "cutting language meant to mock" is indeed appropriate... and especially when used with a bit of humor... This is our Charlie... and as I recall he did use it in a quite urbane manner when warning me about a certain escort quite some time ago shortly after I joined the forum... and at the time I was quite grateful for his "sarcastic" remarks!

Steven noticed that DiverDan used the word 'scarcastic - and I'm guessing that was a typo?

... and my typing of "sarcastic" in quotes was supposed to be "scartastic"... so I guess that I don't have detective Draker's "eagle eyes"... but that happens when one types with two fingers and it is way past one's bedtime!

Someone has ben slowed down in their quest for a higher title. Non?

 

Wish I had a cheap lawn chair to lie in whilst in the penalty box...
