It's an automatic feature related to post count, commonplace on most forums. I'd not pay it much mind as post count means little regardless the forum, rather it's what's conveyed by those posts that matters.
It's always best to click usernames and see what they've had to say, what they've done & what they've built instead of going by "titles" no matter what that title may be

Believe it or not I finally asked Paul for that change! No word yet, thought I'd post now before it's changed to "don't know a thing"!
BarelyAWake- Didn't realize you were a Maineiac, wherabouts do you call home? I spent a few months lobsterin down by Vinylhaven, and rakin blueberries up by Blue Hill. Woulda took a job making wreathes but besides having a full time job to return to, those little old ladies woulda ate me alive
Great memories!

Middlin midcoast Maine, smack dab between nowhere & you're lost man where the primary tourist attraction isn't & the locals don't either
I'll be honest, while I've friends that are trappers & diggers ofc - you couldn't pay me to haul or rake as it's waaaay too much like work, the ones that actually make a few bucks these days are certifiably insane* & I'm not a big fan of lobster in any case, nasty bottom feedin' bug lookin' things lol
*like this guy, that's brackish tidal water iced up to give you an idea how cold it is - fall in & you prolly won't make it to shore;
I've a friend whom makes wreaths, which as you know is far more interesting than it sounds, raiding the christmas tree farms for sprigs & whatnot heh

O yeah! My very young (at the time) back and hands were beat. I happily left to go to a physically intense 4 month long course. Every time I thought it was too much, I thought about making a living with that %*#! rake!
Other than poor conditions, back breaking work, horrible hours and the like, those two jobs also had something else in common- eat all you want. That lasted a very short time in both cases- smaat thinkin!
Geez that looks cold. I'm near Bozeman MT and it hasn't been bad at all these last two winters.

oooooooh... man I got a good giggle outta that one right there! Believe it or not, at 36 I'm the oldest guy on my job, (with the exception of the owner- whose social security number is 000-00-0001 LOL). That was right up my alley.
As far as the lobster goes; it, and the 25lbs of butter I ate with it, were awesome. That lasted 4 or 5 days, and it took me 10 years to have another 'cockroach of the ocean'

LOL @ the lobster thing. (Carol makes faces at me when I say this) It's got 6 legs, it's a bug. Your not supposed to eat em.
In my well spent youth, I sailed with the Clearwater organization out of Poughkeepsie NY. on the Hudson river. We would troll for fish and what ever was on the bottom and show the school kids what lived in the river. Much to the great annoyance to every thing that lives in the river.
But the biggest, happiest and healthiest lobster we would catch, was next to or near some sort of sewage outfall. Could have been the local lobster folk avoided those areas but them dang mud-bugs were fat, dumb and happy big. (well, not so happy after being brought up on deck, showed to small children then unceremoniously thrown over the side...
LOL Trey, your new title comes with an AARP application.

I'm 43 at my not job, the oldest guy not there.
It takes at least that much to hide the horrid taste.

Are you not hiring? Because that sounds like my dream not job. Not kidding
When I was a kid my grandmother called them 'the cockroaches of the ocean'. My mother, on the other hand, would eat the whole thing. Yuck!
Dan, I wonder if I can now get better rates on my insurance...lol
