E-mail sent! But it seems you could already smell the stink of experience on me and already changed my status! thanks!

Yep, your posts always smelled like dryer lint and stinky fridges so I knew you had to be a Master and I quietly upgraded you so as not to make a stink. Gar-gar-gar.

I will send and email per instructions but also make this post to openly explain some of my unusual postings. Currently owner of Durham Appliance Thrift and Repair LLC. http://www.durhamappliancethrift.com/. My background may be a little different As a youth I was a mechanic's apprentice with Morris and Associates, makers of large industrial coolers and Ice Makers http://www.morris-as.../page/home_alt. I fell in love with refrigeration. Somehow I got off path, wound up as a burnt out lawyer with an undergrad degree in English (Go Heels!). Now you understand why my posts are wordy, full of comma splices and my approach to problem solving seem less technical. Anyhow My path to appliantology is as follows....from practicing law to owning investment properties (trained by an electrician to wire houses to code) followed by working on appliances in my properties (since local techs sucked). Then joining forces with my current business partner who was already in the business but with another company. We both saw a need for an appliance company that stressed professionalism, knowledge and customer service. Had the opportunity to work on countless broken appliances and started doing in house warranty work followed by house calls. Although law is far from a technical endeavor, you have to learn how to become an expert in a field quickly (try cross examining a anesthesiologist without getting up to speed on his field). This site and the masters herein ("herein?" Who talks like that? Man, bad habits are sure hard to break) have been invaluable. I have the luxury of reading posts by masters and being able to immediately dissect a similar appliance and apply the concepts.

So now you know why I'm nuts!

When I first offered the Chief Apprentice Appliantologist, I had in mind mostly DIYers. What's happened over time is that it's been mostly professional appliantologists subscribing. The Master Appliantologist was offered as a courtesy to professional appliantologist for mutual information sharing at the forums. Since Chiefs contribute financially to the forums, they are given open access to the repair manual stash, a privilege not currently enjoyed by Master Appliantologists.

So, we find ourselves in the horns of an enema, as Hemorrhageway might say in one of many drunken rants. We need a new usergroup for professional appliantologists who are lifetime subscribers to The School. It with a swollen proboscis of pride that I present to you a new usergroup: Chief Master Appliantologist. CMA's will have all the access privileges of a Fellow in the Academy of Sublime Masters of Appliantology.

When you subscribe to the forum as a permapprentice, you are automatically upgraded to a CAA. But if you let me know that you're a brethren in The Craft, I'll manually upgrade you to CMA.

Kanpai!
