It looks like I have just beaten afilter to the rank of Commander . . . which means, of course, that I am senior to you, Aaron;
In other words, I've reached 250 posts while Aaron languishes at 249 posts . . . well, very briefly I suspect . . . but I'm senior . . . at least until he beats me to Captain.

Congratulations, Aaron. You too are now a Commander . . . and I won't take advantage of my seniority. Besides, you'll soon have more posts than me anyway.
And yes, while I don't want to admit my age, I did learn my Roman Numerals in math class . . . but not from any of the really famous Romans.

PS, do you know how difficult it is to give compass headings in Roman Numerals?

Congratulations to you both - a wonderful achievement!! Promotion and progression based on ABILITY rather than seniority...  |

Oooooh! So THAT'S what those little starry-ranky things to the left mean! Heh. Personally, I like being a Lt. Cmdr. Enough rank to avoid the scut work (see: Ensign & Lt. Jg.) and not enough rank to really catch all that much blame (not being in charge has its benefits!). |

But higher ranks can always BLAME everyone else, so rank does have its privileges!  |
