Growing up .. I mean old !

to the guardians of this fine establishment, I pose a question -
I note (with some amusement) that I am considered a "Junior Member" ... now, quite apart from it being at least 4-score years (that's more than 80 for those with a state education) since I was a "Junior" ANYTHING, I don't recall my member being referred to as 'junior' by those ladies who have enjoyed it's attentions down the years either ... So - to my question... How does a very senior (in years at least) member of society shed the "Junior" tag and become, for example, a mere mortal "Member" ? (I will wait until my centennial is past before enquiring with regards to a "Senior" or even "Venerable" prefix)
Eagerly awaiting the answer, I will return to browsing this fine palace of knowledge and wisdom...

A score = 20
It was often said that you could expect three score and ten years of life.
A score can also refer to cash transactions as well...
"How much for the old satnav?"
"A score ok?"
And i was state educated a long time ago!

The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln started out with "Four score and seven years ago ................" Seriously, a junior member has nothing to do with the age of a person but ONLY with the amount of posts they make. And BTW, you're not so old as long as you feel young.

I REALLY like your chosen avatar. In fact, I almost chose a similar one for myself!
