Dear Bob, Jim and Jean

Thank you for trying to help me understand the system.

I am more confused than ever now as Jean who is also a Global Moderator has five green/gold stars.

Am I right in thinking that the ranking is Newbie, Jr Member, Full Member, Senior Member and Hero Member. What comes after that, Super Hero Member?

What does the star rating denote - Ability to spell correctly?

I can see that the administrator, and Global moderator have a special significance and deserve special star colours.

Is it just me, or are others confused as well?

It appears that the star rating is not explained anywhere on the site as far as I can see, I can say that the rating does not indicate ability to spell but rather the amount of time members have to waste! I would have thought the stage that follows Hero member was obvious, its PEEL OWNER!!! :D

Dear Bob

As Global Moderator you have certainly worked hard today, and we have all leaned a lot in the process.

Should there be a corner of the site that explains all this, a bit like the hot topics indicator.

Many thanks Bob

There should be really, it may just be a matter of Jim pressing a button. I will ask him. 
Going back to the Virgo air filter, I just discovered that the paper filter AND the housing are inseperable and disposible! Yes you chuck the whole thing away and buy a new one for £40 plus! Madness! No wonder people are fitting Renault five pans on there cars.
Chris, how are you with identifying pre 1908 cars , I'm putting a couple of pics up on a new thread. Any ideas?
