What is the deal with the stars under our user name?

Indicates how veteran to the site you are... stars increase with the number of posts - check out Cayugad for the maximum amount of stars available....

The stars indicate how full of you know what you are. The more stars the more full of it you are.. It means some of us post too much. Nothing to get concerned about...

Wasn't concerned. Just on some forums it a popularity contest....

On this board, it is about sharing knowledge about Muzzleloading, not a popularity contest. Some folks are also retired and therefore have more time, especially in the winter to visit the forums. If you have a question ask, if you have an answer respond. Folks a friendly and very very helpful, they are sharing because it is the sport they love, not a popularity contest,no doubt about it.

And we beginners who know very little appreciate the knowledge of those who have all those stars and keep us on the right track. Thanks to all of you. Duck Creek Hunter.

Chap, you referring to Mr. 10,001 and counting? As you can see a lot of us or in or close to the max # of stars. So you better wear your hip boots in here.

Yep. I've got 4 stars and I don't know jack compared to guys like Cayugad, Chap, Sabotloader, FG (or should I say Mr. Powerbelt?), and others too numerous to mention.[:@]

I second your thoughts Duck creek hunter, this is a great place for any technical info or if you are just starting out. Also humorous at times, that is great, WE NEED THAT !!!!!! THANKS GUYS !!!!!!!
